Your donation of t-shirts for the entire school had a profound and positive impact on our community, fostering a sense of unity and pride among students, faculty, and staff. Thanks to the hard work and creativity of the Entrepreneurship students, who designed and produced the shirts, each student received a free t-shirt that not only promotes school spirit but also highlights the talent and initiative of their peers. This hands-on project provided invaluable learning experiences for the Entrepreneurship students, giving them a real-world opportunity to apply business skills such as design, production, and marketing. Watching each students eye for design improve from their first shirt created to the end was very rewarding for both myself and the students and something that would not have been possible without your generosity. \r\n\r\nBeyond the practical benefits, the t-shirt donation also helped create a stronger sense of belonging across the school. Everyone was able to add to or start their Bronc apparel collection. For many, receiving a free t-shirt was not just about the item itself but about being part of something larger—a reminder of the collective effort and spirit that drives our school forward. We look forward to being able to welcome new students with a Burns shirt in the future as well. \r\n\r\nThank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1729708807795,"projectUrl":"project/design-and-production-of-school-spirit-w/8534645/","projectTitle":"Design and Production of School Spirit Wear","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9617727"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39463","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":307,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":39463,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Burns Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Burns Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/laramie-county-school-district-2/burns-junior-senior-high-school/39463"}
