AHS leadership students are always looking for ways to give more than we ask. One of the ways we do this is by lowering the ticket prices for events. Your donation of pipe and drape stands, wagon, rolling cooler and more provided us with needed supplies that can be used time and time again. This in turn lowers ticket costs to all students, since we did not need to spend precious dollars on these items. The icing on the cake is that we will use these event supplies for years to come.\r\n Another way we give more than we ask is lunch games. Students are always happy with new activities to do at lunch and at our events. The giant connect 4, soccer dart board, pickle ball and yard Yahtzee have already been enjoyed by our students. We simply set the items out and let the students enjoy. The soccer darts were a huge hit at our recent pep rally! \r\nThank you again for your generous support of local schools. Each of the items you funded will help Atascadero High School students build positive memories of their time at AHS!","fullyFundedDate":1736790154721,"projectUrl":"project/leadership-students-are-memory-makers/9026010/","projectTitle":"Leadership Students are Memory Makers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sherer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4280700_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1486748620412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4280700"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39903","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1114,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":88.1,"schoolId":39903,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Atascadero High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Atascadero High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/atascadero-unified-school-district/atascadero-high-school/39903"}
