It was a powerful reminder that meeting basic needs can have an immediate and positive impact on learning and classroom community.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom has become an even more supportive and welcoming environment. With consistent access to snacks, students are better prepared to persevere through challenging tasks, work respectfully with peers, and take pride in their progress.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a meaningful difference in my students' school days, and we are incredibly thankful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1765981270119,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-success/9950282/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McLean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9340653"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65670","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":257,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":64.4,"schoolId":65670,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Calais Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Calais Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/calais-school-district/calais-elementary-school/65670"}
