These items have already made such a positive difference for both my students and me. \r\n\r\nThe laptop charging station for our class has been especially helpful. Technology is an important part of our curriculum, and having a designated place to store and charge the laptops safely makes it much easier to keep them ready for use. The charging station has greatly improved our classroom organization and helped us manage all the cords. \r\n\r\nWe also received cleaning supplies that allow us to clean and sanitize the desktops and laptops after students use them. With so many students sharing technology and classroom spaces, these supplies help us maintain a cleaner learning environment and reduce the spread of germs. \r\n\r\nThe additional classroom supplies including Expo markers, storage bins, laminating sheets, pens, and wall posters have been extremely useful. The storage bins help keep our materials organized. The laminating sheets allow me to preserve resources so they can be used again. \r\n\r\nIt has been wonderful to see how excited the students are when new materials are introduced into our classroom. They take pride in using the technology and supplies and are learning to take responsibility for caring for our shared classroom resources. \r\n\r\nThank you again to our generous donors. Your kindness has helped make our classroom cleaner, more organized, and better equipped for learning. We truly appreciate your support and the difference you are making in the education of my students!","fullyFundedDate":1778070456334,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-well-equipped-classroom-for-s/9987828/","projectTitle":"Creating a Well-Equipped Classroom for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cantu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8935440_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x170,y228&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674506590537","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8935440"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17154","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":597,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":99,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":17154,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ringgold Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ringgold Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/rio-grande-city-independent-school-district/ringgold-middle-school/17154"}
