They took pride in their designs. After we finished they were able to choose their own colors from the supplies ordered. Now, they have a fidget that can be used to help them focus in class that they designed and printed all by themselves. With this donation, we are going to help bridge the gap for some hyperactive kids that need a little extra with the items they design.","fullyFundedDate":1744033034715,"projectUrl":"project/unleash-creativity-with-3d-printing/9001195/","projectTitle":"Unleash Creativity With 3D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gullion","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8825491_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1667330873919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8825491"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76933","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":207,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":93.3,"schoolId":76933,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rountree Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rountree Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/springfield-school-district-r12/rountree-elementary-school/76933"}
