The headsets were a game changer. Students can complete tasks independently and I am able to meet with students that need extra support. The folders contain most of our \"Literacy Bibles\" where students can use during quizzes and tests to become more confident with their knowledge and learn to be independent learners. We are down to 20 pencils now, but the kids will tell on other students that have them, or bring them back and apologize. I will definitely do this next year. \r\n\r\nYou made a difference and I am eternally grateful for that.","fullyFundedDate":1738092875149,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success/9081582/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ferrise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp233191_orig.png?crop=379,379,x182,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596831552094","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/233191"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":809,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":46605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marathon Middle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marathon Middle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/monroe-county-school-district/marathon-high-school/46605"}
