The equipment you provided has already made a meaningful impact in our classrooms.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the unboxing felt like Christmas morning—students were buzzing with excitement: \"Look what we got!\" \"How does that work?\" \"Oh, I like that!\"\r\nIt was pure joy and curiosity, and it set the tone for our hands-on learning.\r\n\r\nRight now, our students are actively using the equipment to prepare for our upcoming school health fair in mid-November. These tools are helping them build confidence, practice real-world skills, and engage deeply with the content in ways that lectures alone could never achieve.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using the non-consumable materials beyond the health fair to provide ongoing medical training opportunities. Your contribution is not just a one-time gift—it's an investment in our students' futures.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us bring learning to life.","fullyFundedDate":1757102374772,"projectUrl":"project/happy-healthy-hope-ing/9633713/","projectTitle":"Happy, Healthy, HOPE-ing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4183322_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483409528883","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kvasquez"},{"teacherId":4183322,"projectId":9238783,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donations to our school. We are thankful for your generous gifts. \r\nThese books are used to supplement the gaps in our library collection. The books on financial literacy and the stock markets are used by many who want to learn more about stocks, and trading because they hope to break into that industry. Our financial literacy teacher has used them to expand on a few things in her lessons. \r\nOur agriculture education teacher is especially excited about the Temple Grandin book. This is a topic she covers already and used it already to introduce that topic in her curriculum. \r\nSTEM is a huge push from our governing body and our science teachers appreciate the variety of resources in which to use in their classes. Housing them in the library ensures that students maybe not in those classes this year are exposed to those topics as well. \r\nThe human body squishy model is a hit because the students love the hands-on activity. \r\nAs you can see, the materials are definitely being used in a variety of ways and add to our school community!","fullyFundedDate":1746574105585,"projectUrl":"project/full-stem-ahead-in-books/9238783/","projectTitle":"Full “STEM” Ahead in Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4183322_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483409528883","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kvasquez"},{"teacherId":4183322,"projectId":9166944,"letterContent":"Because of the nature of the items in this donation, our students did not have a big reveal. The students who need items like deodorant, and mouthwash from school are not really into big displays, but we provide these items on a Care Cart at a central location in our school building. Our BETA club helps to donate items to keep it stocked, but inevitably we run out of those donations very quickly. It is because of the community donations like yours that allow us to continue through the end of the year, and at the start of the new year. \r\nWhen we received the items, the female student nearest me said yay! we have tampons again! (all they had left were pads. )It may not seem like a big deal to some but when a female needs those items, it is a blessing to have them on hand. \r\nThe scissors and other school supply items have been distributed to those kids who came to school with little to no supplies. Because we are a smaller community and everyone knows everyone else, we are familiar with who may need items. On their behalf, we thank you for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1743972088648,"projectUrl":"project/the-bare-minimum/9166944/","projectTitle":"The Bare Minimum","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4183322_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483409528883","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kvasquez"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11246","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":471,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":11246,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Berwick Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Berwick Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-mary-parish-school-district/berwick-senior-high-school/11246"}
