My students really appreciated the snacks, they helped keep everyone focused and ready to learn, especially during longer class periods. It was a simple but meaningful way to support students throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWe're already putting your support to good use. As we move into our climate change unit, students will begin using the molecular modeling kits to explore scientific concepts in a more hands-on way. They'll be building models, analyzing systems, and connecting their learning to real-world environmental issues. These experiences help make abstract ideas more concrete and engaging.\r\n\r\nWhat's especially exciting is that these molecular modeling kits will continue to be used next year across multiple units, giving many more students the opportunity to benefit from hands-on learning. Your support is making a lasting impact in our classroom, and we truly appreciate it.","fullyFundedDate":1774642172730,"projectUrl":"project/learning-chemistry-by-building-it/10042808/","projectTitle":"Learning Chemistry by Building It","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drummond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3717324_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y180&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693170802480","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3717324"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42316","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1305,"numTeachers":68,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.7,"schoolId":42316,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Durango High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Durango High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/durango-school-district-9-r/durango-high-school/42316"}
