Thanks to you, my students now have sturdy and reliable stools to use during small group time. We no longer have to rearrange our space and students are able to sit comfortably. This was such a huge and long overdue upgrade! In addition, we were also able to add magnetic tiles and Play-doh to our indoor recess toy collection. This has been very exciting for my students, because several of the toys we previously had, were broken and/or very well loved. Plus, we didn't always have enough for everyone. The joy on my students' faces when I unboxed all of these new items was priceless! Again, thank you SO much for your generosity and support. You're kindness will benefit students for many years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1738156124265,"projectUrl":"project/investing-in-our-students-replacing/9010827/","projectTitle":"'Investing in Our Students' - Replacing Broken Stools and Recess Toys","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leddy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7817566_orig.png?crop=938,938,x3,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649464110321","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7817566"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71315","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":537,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.5,"schoolId":71315,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Meridian Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Meridian Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/meridian-public-school-district/meridian-elementary-school/71315"}
