Through this back to school project, I was able to provide many classroom essential supplies that we use every day. The cardstock paper has come in handy for our interactive notebook dividers and pages, as well as bulletin boards displays, assignments, and even student projects. The large pack of pencils will definitely go to good use, as my students are consistently asking for a writing utensil which takes away from our instructional time. By providing pencils in my classroom, my students have access to what they need when they need it, which saves us a considerable amount of time and struggle. Additionally, I've heard many students comment on our new classroom clock and how it helps them keep track of time without having access to a cell phone in the classroom this year. Finally, the breakfast items and snack have been so appreciated by my students who have come to school without having eaten lunch or those who simply need a pick-me-up during the day. \r\nAgain, thank you so much for your contribution to keeping my classroom running smoothly and helping support my students.","fullyFundedDate":1785449475037,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-for-engagement/10222387/","projectTitle":"Essentials for Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5365997_orig.png?crop=1413,1413,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650984246464","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-hamilton-bpks"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57585","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":181,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.7,"schoolId":57585,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belle Plaine High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belle Plaine High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/belle-plaine-unified-school-district-357/belle-plaine-high-school/57585"}
