Your generosity has given our students a fun and exciting way to build confidence, practice communication skills, and connect with one another. Many of my students are nervous about singing in front of others, so having this opportunity in a supportive classroom environment helps them step outside their comfort zones at their own pace.\r\n\r\nToday, we used our new karaoke machine to celebrate Crater High School Homecoming 2026, and it was wonderful to see students participate, sing along, and enjoy the music together! Even though some students were hesitant at first, the excitement of homecoming helped create a fun atmosphere where everyone could feel included. Music gave our students an opportunity to express themselves, encourage their classmates, and experience the joy of being part of something special.\r\n\r\nYour donation has provided much more than a karaoke machine. It has given our students opportunities to grow, take positive risks, build friendships, and discover that they are capable of more than they sometimes believe. Thank you for helping us create meaningful memories and reminding our students that their voices matter.

Students were so excited to see all the books coming in and helping find places to put them in our classroom library. Students already were seeing that there were some books that they identified with while others left them wanting to learn more about others. As the school year starts I am feeling so confident that students will be able to find books that they love. My challenge to my freshman English class is for students to try and read 20 books before the end of the school year. With these high interest books I can already see that they are feeling confident to be able to rise to that challenge. \r\n\r\nWe will start each day with 10-15 minuted of quiet reading time and encourage students to try to read at least 20 minutes a day beyond that. My struggling readers are so excited to see the wider range of graphic novels that this grant was able to purchase. I think those titles especially will be a gateway for them to find the books they love! \r\n\r\nBy blending popular hits with rigorous non-fiction, you helped to create a collection that fosters empathy, historical understanding, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for reading across all genres and reading levels. We know that people are being asked to read and write more and more. By developing readers who like to read in high school, we are helping them to have the skills they need to be successful after high school.","fullyFundedDate":1780954082657,"projectUrl":"project/the-joy-of-reading/10101705/","projectTitle":"The Joy of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zwirn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3828244_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472691328767","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-zwirn"},{"teacherId":2002931,"projectId":9802993,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing healthy protein snacks for my students. Your contribution has had a meaningful and immediate impact on our classroom, and I am truly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nWe are using these protein snacks during math instruction, especially during longer lessons that require sustained focus, problem-solving, and small-group work. Many of my students experience difficulty maintaining attention or regulating emotions when they are hungry. Having access to healthy protein has helped students remain calmer, more focused, and more engaged in learning. During a recent math lesson involving multi-step problems, students worked for extended periods with noticeably fewer disruptions. Several students even shared that they felt better able to concentrate because they had eaten.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks, their reactions were overwhelmingly positive. They were excited, thankful, and genuinely surprised that people they had never met cared enough to support their learning. For some students, consistent access to healthy food is not always guaranteed, and this project helped them feel seen and supported. It also sparked meaningful conversations about nutrition and how caring for our bodies helps our brains learn more effectively.\r\n\r\nBy contributing to this project, you were able to get a small glimpse into our classroom. I want you to know that your impact continues beyond this moment. As we move into more challenging math concepts, students will need increased stamina, perseverance, and confidence. These snacks will continue to support students as they tackle complex problems, work collaboratively, and build independence.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported both academically and emotionally. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping remove barriers so they can focus on learning and success.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1763498179220,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-the-future-smart-snacks-for-strong/9802993/","projectTitle":"Fuel the Future: Smart Snacks for Strong Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Beau Canfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2002931_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1456429832627","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/canfield"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1450,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"69.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.1,"schoolId":87824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Crater High School - Bus & Innov Science on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Crater High School - Bus & Innov Science","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/central-point-school-district-6/crater-high-school-business-innov-sci/87824"}
