During the announcement of Governor Meyer's literacy grant, I began looking for classroom items to help my students scores improve. I requested a classroom set of magic boards from Lakeshore. The boards arrived quickly and we began using them right away! The students loved them! They were exactly the motivating tool I needed to spark enthusiasm for writing. Since October my students test scores in reading words have increased! I am very grateful for these boards and the excitement they gave my students.","fullyFundedDate":1760809129158,"projectUrl":"project/lets-write/9836114/","projectTitle":"Let’s Write","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O'Hanlon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10315161"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44507","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":394,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.3,"schoolId":44507,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Forwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Forwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/brandywine-school-district/forwood-elementary-school/44507"}
