The students were so excited to pick out their favorite colors, and it was quite a coincidence that many chose \"Detroit Lions\" blue and silver!\r\n\r\nThe storage bins have also been a wonderful addition, helping us organize our classroom fidgets and keeping our space tidy. Furthermore, the granola bars were a huge hit; my students were thrilled to have a healthy snack, and they were a tremendous help during our testing week. I make it a priority to ensure my students are well-fed before their exams, and your donation made that much easier for us. On behalf of my entire class and our classroom paraprofessional, thank you for your generosity and for investing in our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1788997300133,"projectUrl":"project/ignore-the-noise/10547461/","projectTitle":"Ignore the Noise","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clinkscales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10632225"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94429","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":656,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.1,"schoolId":94429,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak Park Preparatory Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak Park Preparatory Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/oak-park-school-district/oak-park-prep-academy/94429"}
