Your kindness will allow Red the Roadrunner to continue his legacy at our school and community events for years to come! \r\nRed made his first appearance when students were gathering for dismissal at then end of the school day. The younger students lit up when they saw Red! The older students were also excited and wanting to give Red high fives and hugs, even though they tried to play it cool! \r\nFamilies were also able to engage with Red for the first time at our school carnival. Parents, guardians, students and siblings were so excited to see the new and improved Red! There is no doubt in my mind that Red's presence will brighten our school community. The mascot will also help staff create excitement amongst new students and younger siblings who will attend Neill in the future. Thank you so much for your willingness to assist us in purchasing this meaningful tool that will help build school community and engagement! We look forward to Red being an integral part of our school and wider community in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1730435628012,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-elementary-school-give-our-road/8778189/","projectTitle":"Help Our Elementary School Give Our Roadrunner Mascot A Makeover!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9747949"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75614","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":359,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.4,"schoolId":75614,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edward D Neill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edward D Neill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/robbinsdale-area-schools/edward-d-neill-elementary-school/75614"}
