Your support has had a real and lasting impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nSince implementing the new materials, my students have been more engaged and confident during structured conversations. The curriculum's visual supports, real-life scenarios, and step-by-step lessons have helped them learn how to start, maintain, and end conversations more naturally. We have seen tremendous growth in their ability to take turns, stay on topic, and connect with peers and staff.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, these communication skills translate directly to real-world success—participating more comfortably in job training, engaging with coworkers, and communicating effectively with family and friends. These moments of connection are invaluable, and they were made possible because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your kindness is helping them find their voices, build relationships, and develop confidence that will last a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1755728119310,"projectUrl":"project/lets-talk-about-it-empowering-students/9597505/","projectTitle":"Let’s Talk About It: Empowering Students Through Conversation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lindsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6644060"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108540","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":88.5,"schoolId":108540,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Life Skills Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Life Skills Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/canyons-school-district/canyons-transition-academy/108540"}
