These posters are then referred to throughout the unit as they study and interact with texts.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the students felt gratitude and appreciative to be considered by people who they don't know. Students were eager to write thank you letters to express their gratitude which also taught them the importance of returning the favor of appreciation.\r\n\r\nYour donation will make lasting impressions on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1754879616054,"projectUrl":"project/super-supplies/9475407/","projectTitle":"Super Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zambito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5403216_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666044403907","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lisazambito"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78039","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":361,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":78039,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Busch Middle School of Character & Athlet on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Busch Middle School of Character & Athlet","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-louis-public-schools/busch-academic-athletic-ms/78039"}
