This was becoming increasingly difficult, as the few games I had thrifted/received from family were being used by groups of students so often, that by the time other groups showed up, they only had a few (if not, none) board games to pick from. On a worse day, so many students showed up that there were no games left for them, and they had to be turned away (as per our school's policy, students must be actively participating in the activity to stay). This defeated the entire purpose of the club! How can I claim to run a club that anyone can show up for and have fun with when people are being turned away?\r\nThanks to your generosity, my club can now operate at full capacity and allow everyone that shows up the chance to play games with their friends. I love knowing that students are utilizing their time to socialize and play actual games rather than sit in silence on their phones. I cannot express to you enough how grateful I am that I am able to have the inclusive club I originally intended to have!","fullyFundedDate":1765505825501,"projectUrl":"project/mr-loebigs-board-game-club/9786478/","projectTitle":"Mr. Loebig's Board Game Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Loebig","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298193"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89145","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1044,"numTeachers":69,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":89145,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mars Area High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mars Area High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/mars-area-school-district/mars-area-high-school/89145"}
