Your generosity gave my students the gift they were missing most on drizzly days: the chance to go outside and play anyway.\r\n\r\nWith their new bright yellow rain suits, the ones with the sweet animal faces on the hoods, my students now get to splash, explore, and learn through rainy-day play instead of watching the weather from the window. On our first rainy recess, you should have heard the squeals when they realized they actually got to go out! Puddles became science experiments, muddy boots became a badge of honor, and recess felt like an adventure again.\r\n\r\nThese suits do more than keep little bodies dry. For my youngest learners, outdoor play is where curiosity, cooperation, and confidence grow. Your donation means every child in our classroom, no matter what they have at home, gets to be part of those moments. The look on their faces as they lined up in their rain suits, ready to take on the weather together, is something I will remember all year.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in joyful, hands-on learning, and for giving my students a little more sunshine on the rainiest days.","fullyFundedDate":1779391839864,"projectUrl":"project/lets-play-in-the-rain/10249212/","projectTitle":"Let's Play in the Rain!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jenny","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8701972_orig.jpg?crop=1044,1044,x0,y590&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692695926177","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8701972"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122385","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":87.3,"schoolId":122385,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pattengill Biotechnical Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pattengill Biotechnical Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/lansing-school-district/pattengill-biotechnical-magnet-school/122385"}
