From the very first day the supplies arrived, my students were thrilled. Every day since I have noticed their eagerness to begin the day and their excitement to use the supplies you all have kindly provided. The whiteboards have become a favorite for practicing their writing, while the play dough and mats spark endless creativity, fine motor growth, and imaginative play.\r\n\r\nWithout your help, it would not have been easy to provide these kinds of meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. Your generosity has filled our classroom not only with supplies but with excitement, opportunity, and inspiration. Thank you again for believing in our students and for making a difference in their early education.","fullyFundedDate":1736433340280,"projectUrl":"project/pre-k-first-time-teaching-essentials/8904394/","projectTitle":"Pre-K first-time Teaching Essentials!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mendoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-s-mendoza"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27229","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":926,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":27229,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Houston Gateway Academy - Coral on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Houston Gateway Academy - Coral","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/houston-gateway-academy/27229"}
