Your generous donation has made a big difference in how we learn and explore science. With the new materials, we were able to conduct\r\n a chemical reactions lab that brought science to life right before our eyes!\r\n\r\nDuring the lab, we got to see chemical reactions happen in real time. It was exciting to mix different substances and watch how they changed, sometimes bubbling, changing color, or producing gas. This hands-on experience helped us understand important science\r\n concepts much better than just reading about them in a book. Many students said it was one of the coolest things they have done in science class!\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is now a place where we can explore, ask questions, and learn by doing. These supplies have made science more fun and meaningful for all of us. We are grateful for your kindness and for helping us become better scientists\r\n every day.","fullyFundedDate":1755713735778,"projectUrl":"project/grow-with-science/9436583/","projectTitle":"Grow with Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fornea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10065408"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12020","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":266,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":12020,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Pitcher Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Pitcher Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-tammany-parish-school-district/william-pitcher-junior-high-school/12020"}
