Other ways the provided items are being used include storage, maintenance, and packing lunches and snacks in cooler bags for students while they are on boats fishing in tournaments.\r\n\r\nThanks to the donation items provided by this project, our team is showing constant improvement in the tournaments they participate in and one of my student anglers even caught the largest bass of one of these tournaments, earning a plaque trophy which can be seen among the photos attached to this thank-you package. Moving forward, we hope to continue to improve as well as to grow our team roster for next season.","fullyFundedDate":1778203196084,"projectUrl":"project/fishing-fanatics/10220542/","projectTitle":"Fishing Fanatics!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grabowski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8173808_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646862307864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8173808"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61947","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":220,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":61947,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Minnesota New Country School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Minnesota New Country School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/minnesota-new-country-school/61947"}
