My students are now able to have resources at home that help them improve and continue to reach for the stars. Having available resources is so important to me, because I know that most kids do not have that outside of school and they should; that's why this project was important to me. My students were happy with everything they received in their bags and could not wait to show it others. The project was a true success.","fullyFundedDate":1733347190028,"projectUrl":"project/academic-excellencehere-we-come/8940414/","projectTitle":"Academic Excellence...Here We Come!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5610132_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1589075103275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5610132"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17776","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":445,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.4,"schoolId":17776,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Isaac G Joseph Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Isaac G Joseph Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/jefferson-parish-schools/vic-pitre-elementary-school/17776"}
