It is so important, especially in the winter with so many colds going around and germs. Also, we would love a set of colored pencils for everyone in our classroom instead of sharing. We love to do our project and are always looking for new ones. The supplies on our list will help us make some very fun projects that we can display in our classroom and then take home. Adding to our art closet will be such a pleasure for the kids on Fridays during our art and writing time.","fullyFundedDate":1745971435271,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-fun-for-all/9071863/","projectTitle":"Healthy Fun for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shortman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2516160"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104225","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":10,"numTeachers":1,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":100,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":104225,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Zenith Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Zenith Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/cut-bank-school-district-15/zenith-elementary-school/104225"}
