Your contribution has directly enhanced their comfort, dignity, and well-being. \r\n\r\nThe cups have allowed students to stay hydrated throughout the day, whether they forgot their water bottle or needed to take medication. I recently comforted a child who arrived in tears after leaving their water bottle at home; thanks to your donation, I was able to offer a cup immediately and quickly reassure and console them. The underwear has also been invaluable for our kindergarteners who experience accidents, preventing feelings of embarrassment and easing the burden on families who may not be able to leave work to bring clean clothing. \r\n\r\nYour support has meant a great deal to me personally and to our entire school community. You have helped create an environment where students can feel secure, supported, and cared for, and I am deeply grateful for your continued commitment to our children's needs.","fullyFundedDate":1755292251804,"projectUrl":"project/dragons-need-hydration-and-dry-underwear/9497654/","projectTitle":"Dragons Need Hydration and Dry Underwear to Stay Focused","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marcus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10092321"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53739","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":636,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":6,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.2,"schoolId":53739,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frank J Dugan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Frank J Dugan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/marlboro-township-public-school-district/frank-j-dugan-elementary-school/53739"}
