But after I was able to explain to them that so many people love them, and thought about them as a class made them feel loved! \r\n Right now our class is in the process of learning how to properly take care of their basic hygiene skills that they were never taught. Through lots of patience and example we are slowly getting there! \r\n Again, thank you all for all your generosity shown to these students that need it the most!","fullyFundedDate":1749442493747,"projectUrl":"project/gs-life-skills-hygiene-kits/9397380/","projectTitle":"GS Life Skills Hygiene Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashlyn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050339_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y326&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749257556428","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050339"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20209","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":742,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":79.4,"schoolId":20209,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gibson Southern High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gibson Southern High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/south-gibson-school-corporation/gibson-southern-high-school/20209"}
