Having this flag at our school will be a daily reminder of the sacrifices others give for their freedom and right to live how we do. In the past years, during graduation, staff were scrambling to find a flag to have in the gym during the ceremony. Due to your donation we now have a flag onsite daily and access for graduations for years to come. I was able to also get the engraving donated for your message from Kasson Laser Graphics to keep the memory of this donation for years to come. \r\n\r\nThe flag is posted in the hall for students, staff, and families to see. I hope this brings pride especially on this day as we celebrate our Veterans who give so much to support our freedom.","fullyFundedDate":1761680431868,"projectUrl":"project/proudly-we-wave/9860690/","projectTitle":"Proudly We Wave","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. P or Amy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10333719"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62279","usesÐǿմ«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":396,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":62279,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rochester Alternative Learning Center on @Ðǿմ«Ã½:","schoolName":"Rochester Alternative Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/rochester-public-schools-isd-535/esc-area-learning-center/62279"}
