These donations often provide essential classroom supplies, learning tools, and resources that enhance engagement and participation. When students have access to the items they need, it removes barriers to learning and allows them to focus more fully on their academic growth, creativity, and confidence in the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the consistent availability of valuable snacks plays an important role in supporting students' overall well-being and readiness to learn. Many students come to school without having had enough to eat, which can impact their concentration, mood, and energy levels. Providing reliable access to nutritious snacks helps stabilize their focus and behavior throughout the day, creating a more positive and productive learning environment. Together, these supports contribute to a stronger sense of stability, care, and opportunity for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1770728164464,"projectUrl":"project/beloved-student-snacks/10083852/","projectTitle":"Beloved Student Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Cheatham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10361002"},{"teacherId":10361002,"projectId":9983833,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support and kindness in helping provide PBIS incentives, snacks, and essential materials for our emotional support room.

Your support has truly changed the way our students learn and interact.\r\nWhen the lockers first arrived, the students were hesitant. Many didn't like the idea of giving up their phones and worried they would feel disconnected. At first, there were questions like, \"Do we really have to use these?\" and some nervous glances toward the lockers. But over time, something amazing happened—they began to see the positive impact. Without the constant buzz of notifications, students started focusing more on lessons, engaging in discussions, and collaborating with their peers. One student even said, \"I didn't realize how much my phone distracted me until now.\"\r\nWe use the lockers every day as part of our routine. During a recent persuasive writing project, students worked in groups without distractions, and the conversations were deeper and more creative. The lockers have helped create a calmer, more respectful environment where learning comes first.\r\nNext, our class will begin a research project on current events. With phones safely stored, students can dive into books and classroom resources without interruptions. Your contribution has not only improved focus but also taught responsibility and self-control—skills that will benefit them far beyond school.\r\nThank you for giving our students this opportunity. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and we are excited to share more successes with you in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1758636497183,"projectUrl":"project/improving-student-achievement/9546012/","projectTitle":"Improving Student Achievement","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fylling","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10115828"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49955","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":271,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":79,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":49955,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bostrom High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bostrom High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/phoenix-union-high-school-district/bostrom-alternative-center/49955"}
