My students felt so much love and happiness when they received this donation. They had so many questions asking the following \"why did the donor decide to donate to us? What did you tell them about us? Do we know who they are?\". So many questions that I really cannot answer. All I know for sure (and this is how I answered my students) is that people want you to have experiences you never had and have the opportunities all students should have. \r\n\r\nNow that it is almost winter, my students cannot go outside for recess. At this time they stay in the classroom and get to enjoy their games. They love spending time with each other and learning a new game. They feel connected and a part of the school environment. Feeling safe and included is what I want them to experience in this new country and in their new school.\r\n\r\nWe thank you so much for thinking of us and helping my students feel welcomed in their new school/country.","fullyFundedDate":1727458995208,"projectUrl":"project/indoor-fun/8429396/","projectTitle":"Indoor Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Colon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5307206_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1523404318798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5307206"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22821","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":662,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":22821,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Haverstraw Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Haverstraw Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/north-rockland-central-school-district/haverstraw-middle-school/22821"}
