As a result, the students who will follow will have structured play time in the upcoming years.\r\n\r\nWhen our students go outside for recess, they now look forward to jumping rope, playing tag football, and a great game of \"kickball\". The looks on their faces never ceases to amaze me as well as the other teachers on staff. Not only are the students happy for the play materials, they are also happy about being able to congregate and communicate leadership skills with their peers. This is all because of your generosity, love, and concern for children. Also, our student behavior/conduct has been more positive as they look forward to partaking of the playtime.\r\n\r\nI so appreciate you! Ultimately, this kind gesture lets me know that I chose the right profession. I pray that your present and your future are filled with great blessings and that all of your needs and desires are met.","fullyFundedDate":1736172964363,"projectUrl":"project/jump-to-it-when-i-move-i-learn/8762116/","projectTitle":"\"Jump to It!\" - When I Move, I Learn\"","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Jacqueline Lacey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9630833"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106057","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":399,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.8,"schoolId":106057,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jimmie Goodloe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jimmie Goodloe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/canton-public-school-district/jimmie-goodloe-elementary-school/106057"}
