Your donation of an electric hole punch, class-period trays, gel pens, and sticky notes has made a meaningful impact on both the organization and energy of our daily routines.\r\n\r\nThe electric hole punch has truly been a time-saver—what used to be a line of students waiting for their turn is now a quick, seamless part of their day. This simple tool has helped us stay focused on learning instead of logistics.\r\n\r\nThe trays for different class periods have brought a new level of structure to our space. With each class having its own designated area for turning in and picking up work, students feel more accountable and organized. It's also made transitions smoother and reduced lost or misplaced papers.\r\n\r\nAnd the gel pens and sticky notes—what a hit! The pens have been especially popular for peer-editing, annotating texts, and adding a splash of color to projects. The sticky notes are used daily for reminders, exit tickets, group tasks, and even student-to-student encouragements. These small tools have helped spark creativity and make learning more interactive and personalized.\r\n\r\nYour support has added more than just supplies—it's added efficiency, joy, and a sense of care that students feel when they walk into our room. Thank you for investing in our learning environment. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1743446738696,"projectUrl":"project/extra-supplies/9146802/","projectTitle":"Extra Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Phelps","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9937135"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10061","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":309,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":10061,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elkhart High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elkhart High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/elkhart-independent-school-district/elkhart-high-school/10061"}
