They have been using the folders you have supplied to help keep everyone organized. They've been using the disinfectant wipes to keep surfaces clean and sanitary so we can all stay healthy, which results in good attendance. Also in Life Skills class, the students have been using the postage stamps after they've prepared and addressed their monthly greeting cards and letters so they can be mailed to friends and family members. Students have also used the pointers supplied to help them point to and track words as they read, increasing their ability to read with greater accuracy. \r\n\r\nThe stickers are being used daily on students' behavior charts to reinforce positive behaviors. The puzzles and mini basketballs are favorites each day when students earn their short brain breaks. \r\n\r\nWe sincerely thank you for your donations!","fullyFundedDate":1755522436248,"projectUrl":"project/sponsor-a-special-education-class-and-fe/9451591/","projectTitle":"Sponsor a Special Education Class and Feel Splendid?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schroeder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3813746"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72958","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":896,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":72958,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Allen Park Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Allen Park Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/allen-park-public-school-district/allen-park-middle-school/72958"}
