With this donation, we received flash cards, glue sticks, and sharpies. Other items requested weren't available.\r\n\r\nWe primarily use these supplies to work on vocabulary words and make posters. Writing the words down and quizzing each other helps reinforce memory, deepen understanding, and engages different learning styles. In a class like Biology, where vocabulary is so important, activities like these significantly contribute to student success. On the surface it may not seem like much, but this donation helps lighten the strain on funding and positively impacts students.","fullyFundedDate":1750097785787,"projectUrl":"project/stem-class-supplies/9409969/","projectTitle":"STEM Class Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Memmott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10054868"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52715","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":277,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":49.2,"schoolId":52715,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Castleford School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Castleford School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/castleford-joint-school-district-417/castleford-school/52715"}
