When I shared how donors - mostly people I didn't know - spent their own money to make our classroom feel homey. They wanted me to thank you for caring about them and how they feel while in our classroom. It's not just the material items you provided but a sense of feeling like they matter - even to those who don't know them personally. That means the world to me and I can never thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1787412688164,"projectUrl":"project/home-away-from-home/10380180/","projectTitle":"Home Away From Home","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dawn Beigler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7713090_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784089506950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7713090"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122170","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":614,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.0,"schoolId":122170,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gibbs Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gibbs Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/knox-county-schools/gibbs-middle-school-opens-fall-2018-/122170"}
