Our take a snack home campaign was also a huge success. Some of our older students, especially our expecting mothers found the snacks and treats very helping in between meal times or going to work. Alot of our working highschoolers said that having ready to eat snacks helped them concentrate in class and get to work on-time without having to stop to get something to eat. Your generosity is truly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1734547192524,"projectUrl":"project/dr-michaels-food-pantry-for-kids/8793933/","projectTitle":"Dr. Michael's Food Pantry for Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Michael","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9467870"},{"teacherId":9667485,"projectId":8691253,"letterContent":"We can't thank you enough for your generous support in bringing cutting-edge technology into our classroom. Your donation has truly transformed the way my students learn and engage with history.\r\n\r\n.This technology isn't just a novelty—it's changing the way they think and learn. For students who thrive with hands-on activities or struggle with traditional learning methods, these tools offer a way to shine. They're developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills as they design and build together.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts of this experience has been watching their faces light up as their creations come to life. There's a buzz in the room every time we start a new project. One student, for instance, who used to sit quietly in the back, has become the go-to \"engineer\" of the class, eagerly showing others how to refine their designs and troubleshoot issues. Watching her confidence grow through this process has been incredible and a true testament to the power of this technology.\r\n\r\nYour contributions haven't just provided supplies; they've given my students a chance to see themselves as creators and innovators. You've planted the seeds of inspiration that will help them see history not as something distant, but as something they can touch, shape, and learn from.\r\n\r\nTogether, we're making history 3-D—literally and figuratively. Your support has been nothing short of transformative, and I can't wait to see the history these young minds will make for themselves in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1729270246797,"projectUrl":"project/history-unfolded-a-journey-in-3-dimensi/8691253/","projectTitle":"History Unfolded: A Journey in 3 Dimensions","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rhodes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9667485_orig.jpg?crop=378,378,x0,y31&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727099343574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9667485"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103851","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":150,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":77,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":103851,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marion Park School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marion Park School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/meridian-public-school-district/marion-park-school/103851"}
