With recent budget cuts every dime counts and especially the love and kindness of matching donors. Having businesses and people of all walks are essential for us to rally together for this common cause, the betterment of our schools, students and community. \r\n\r\n We are excited to receive and put to work the thermometers, garden tools and seeds as soon as the temperatures warm up. Many don't realize the beauty and complexity of science, like gardening and mental health and how they correlate. Our hope is that by teaching our scholars, families and community more about the work that goes into planting and cultivating seeds, they will see the importance and similarity of keeping the right attitude in a heated situation. These types of hands on lessons we hope will make for life long understanding and connections. Thank you again for your help and support. I am looking forward to partnering with all of you again in the near future.","fullyFundedDate":1735238958305,"projectUrl":"project/garden-time-with-stem-and-sel/9012389/","projectTitle":"Garden Time With STEM and SEL","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. L.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp678552_orig.png?crop=498,498,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1595612943173","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tlyons"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128098","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":483,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.4,"schoolId":128098,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about H.S.
