Not only that, but they are so happy to see me with some treats as well. \r\n\r\nMany students appreciate being able to have a new pencil or an extra pencil, as they easily get lost at school. I have been able to give students notebooks for them to use in class, as well as planners that help them stay organized as they settle back into comprehensive schools. The motivational quotes put smiles on faces and the snacks and candy are always well received. The stress balls are also a hit and students use them to remind themselves to calm down. \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for the materials we were able to receive.","fullyFundedDate":1733715550395,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-the-basics/8617133/","projectTitle":"Back to the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mendoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7758471_orig.png?crop=585,585,x0,y1147&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699855732341","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7758471"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131011","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":131011,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cowan Academic Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cowan Academic Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/cowan-academic-center/131011"}
