This year, the supplies we received from this donorschoose have already made it possible for the beginning of the year to run smoothly. I spent hours printing, laminating, and taping down subject folders for my entire class before the first day of school. I made our beautiful crayon themed bulletin board (picture to come soon!), all through our supplies of printer ink and class sets of folders. The snacks have proven useful for kids who miss breakfast in the morning, or who are hungry after lunch. \r\n Our hall passes are used every single day, the familiar clinking sound of the hard plastic of the hall pass an accidentally helpful sound to inform me and my other students when they've returned to the classroom. And of course, our pencil boxes we use for crayons every single day! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me get our classroom up and running for this school year. I know that my students will be so excited to create, thrive, and learn this year in large part because of all the wonderful supplies YOU helped us provide.","fullyFundedDate":1750373379928,"projectUrl":"project/25-26-classroom-supplies/9315652/","projectTitle":"25-26 Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-anderson-in1st"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90720","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":421,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":90720,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James Rhoads Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James Rhoads Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/philadelphia-city-school-district/james-rhoads-elementary-school/90720"}
