Many of our students face challenges getting to and from school during the colder months, and projects like this make a meaningful difference in helping them arrive prepared and comfortable for the school day.\r\n\r\nWe keep these items in our food and clothing pantry and provide them to students when they walk into the building or whenever a need is reported. We often see students wearing the hoodies day after day, which is a wonderful reminder of how much these items mean to them. We also love that the clothing has no writing or large designs, so it meets our school dress code while still giving students the warmth they need. Our students and staff are incredibly appreciative that our support team can make such a positive impact in students' lives because of generous donations like yours.\r\n\r\nWe hope to continue building on this support and fully restock the clothing section of our pantry before the next winter. Thank you again for being a part of what makes Capital City High School such a special community! Your generosity has helped us provide more than warm clothing. It has helped our students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1768682009496,"projectUrl":"project/warmth-for-the-winter/10027987/","projectTitle":"Warmth for the Winter","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Bankole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9227412_orig.jpg?crop=809,810,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743203151810","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9227412"},{"teacherId":10309400,"projectId":9819860,"letterContent":"On behalf of myself and my Business Management & Entrepreneurship students at Capital City High School, thank you. Your generosity did more than provide snacks it created an environment where students could focus, collaborate, and truly step into their roles as future business leaders.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom became a space where students felt comfortable, energized, and ready to learn. Something as simple as having snacks available removed distractions and allowed students to stay engaged during our extended block periods. It may seem small, but it made a big difference in student participation, morale, and overall classroom culture.\r\n\r\nThis year, our class didn't just learn about business we lived it.\r\n\r\nWith your support, students successfully:\r\n\r\n* Developed their own business ideas and executive summaries\r\n* Designed and created professional business cards\r\n* Participated in hands-on entrepreneurial challenges\r\n* Analyzed real-world business strategies through films like The Founder\r\n* Engaged in team-based projects focused on leadership, marketing, and innovation\r\n* Took part in interactive activities where they practiced communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills\r\n* Helped contribute to school-wide initiatives, including student-led events and entrepreneurial showcases\r\n\r\nWe also created a classroom culture that mirrors the real world of business—collaborative, creative, and driven. Students showed growth not only academically, but personally. Many of them began the year unsure of their abilities, and now they speak with confidence about owning businesses, managing money, and building their futures.\r\n\r\nThe snacks you provided helped fuel long class periods, group discussions, and project work sessions. They kept students present, focused, and ready to participate—especially during our 80-minute blocks where energy matters.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation showed our students that people believe in them. That message alone is powerful.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us thank you for investing in our classroom, our ideas, and our future entrepreneurs.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMs. Arthur & The Business Management & Entrepreneurship Students\r\nCapital City High School","fullyFundedDate":1769192027186,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-cash-ceo-skills-building-yo/9819860/","projectTitle":"Classroom Cash & CEO Skills: Building Young Entrepreneurs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arthur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10309400"},{"teacherId":10034009,"projectId":10047394,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all your support and donating chapstick, hats, gloves, socks, lined leggings etc to our students.

Because of your support, we have been able to use high-quality digital resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to enhance our daily lessons. These engaging activities have made learning more interactive and accessible for my second graders. While our district curriculum provides a strong foundation, the supplemental resources have allowed me to differentiate instruction, reinforce important skills, and present concepts in ways that are exciting and meaningful for every learner.\r\n\r\nMy students especially love using the activities on their classroom iPads. The interactive lessons, games, and digital practice have increased their enthusiasm for learning and encouraged them to stay focused during independent and small-group work. Many students who are typically hesitant to participate have become more confident because they can practice skills at their own pace and receive immediate feedback. Seeing their excitement when it's time to use these resources has been one of the most rewarding parts of this project.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also helped me spend less time creating supplemental materials and more time focusing on what matters most—teaching my students. The digital resources have allowed me to provide engaging lessons that meet the diverse needs of my classroom while building students' confidence, academic skills, and technology literacy. Thank you for investing in my students' education and helping create a classroom where learning is fun, engaging, and meaningful every day. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on both my students and me.","fullyFundedDate":1702427173222,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-with-tpt/8074055/","projectTitle":"Help Me With TPT!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6399585_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784649493927","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsjajackson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72463","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":756,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.3,"schoolId":72463,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Capital City High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Capital City High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/trenton-public-schools/daylight-twilight-school/72463"}
