We were also able to use the flashlights to ease anxiety during a couple of bad St. Louis thunderstorms.\r\n Another favorite from this package was the privacy folders! It's amazing how much I saw confidence grow when students knew the person next to them could not see their paper. We decorated the folders and the kids used them any time they could.\r\n Each of the items in this package has been put to use and made a positive impact on my class! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I wish I could afford to provide all of the extras to my students, but I cannot. Thanks to your generosity, my kids can have the things they wouldn't have otherwise.","fullyFundedDate":1734729070422,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-fun/8985864/","projectTitle":"Making Learning Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Meis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6180783_orig.jpg?crop=1367,1367,x1075,y215&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690912501534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/debbiemeis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77912","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.9,"schoolId":77912,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marvin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marvin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/ritenour-school-district/marvin-elementary-school/77912"}
