Because of you, a group of imaginative, curious, and sometimes shy students now have the tools they need to collaborate, create, and build confidence in ways that might be difficult to do in a traditional classroom.\r\n\r\nThe supplies you helped fund, from dice sets and game guides to maps, will completely transform our club meetings. Students light up with excitement as they step into roles as brave heroes, cunning strategists, or wise wizards. For many of them, this is the highlight of their week: a space where their creativity is valued, their voices are heard, and they can be part of something truly magical.\r\n\r\nI've watched students who were hesitant to speak in class come alive while narrating their character's story. I've seen natural leaders emerge, empathy grow, and genuine friendships blossom. This isn't just a game to them — it's a journey of growth, collaboration, and self-expression.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide materials. It helped create a safe, inclusive community where students can thrive. Thank you for believing in the power of storytelling and imagination. You've made a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1751823722764,"projectUrl":"project/gauntlet-gaming-supplies-for-creative-mi/9432064/","projectTitle":"Gauntlet Gaming Supplies for Creative Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7070949_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750890422050","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7070949"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77579","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":510,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":77579,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St James High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St James High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-james-school-district-r1/john-f-hodge-high-school/77579"}
