For some students, this coat is more than just a piece of clothing; it is comfort, confidence, and protection that allows them to focus on learning instead of the weather. The addition of sturdy hangers and coat racks has also helped us create an organized, respectful space where students can properly store and care for their belongings each day. \r\n\r\n\r\nImportantly, your gift extends beyond this single winter season. The coat racks and hangers will serve our students for years to come, and the coats themselves will continue to support scholars who need them in future winters. Your investment has created both immediate relief and lasting impact. \r\n\r\n\r\nOn behalf of the students, families, and staff at Puritas Community School, thank you for your generosity and commitment to our scholars' well-being. Your support helps ensure that every child can arrive at school warm, prepared, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1768499276755,"projectUrl":"project/warm-coats-for-underprivileged-students/9859617/","projectTitle":"Warm Coats for Underprivileged Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10035836"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102611","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":88,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.9,"schoolId":102611,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Puritas Community Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Puritas Community Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/-county-run-/puritas-community-middle-school/102611"}
