It's a foundational support system for learning. In an area where many of my students face food insecurity, and with the added stress of community events, having accessible, shelf-safe, healthy snacks has been a lifeline. We keep the items discreetly organized in a storage bin near my desk, and students are able to access them quietly when they need a little fuel. The reaction when the supplies first arrived was subtle but deeply touching: it wasn't a roar of excitement like a science experiment, but a quiet look of relief and appreciation. It sends a clear message to my students: \"I see you, and your need for nourishment is just as important as your need for knowledge.\" It creates a truly safe, supportive learning environment where basic needs are met.\r\n\r\nThese resources are used every single day, often starting before the first bell rings. I share a specific, powerful moment from my honors chemistry class: a student, usually very focused, was distracted one morning. After offering them a breakfast bar and a fruit snack, their demeanor completely changed. By the time we started the lesson on naming compounds, they were fully present, participating robustly, and successfully tackling complex dimensional analysis problems. This highlights the true impact of your donation: it removes the cognitive barrier of hunger, allowing students to focus their entire mental energy on mastering challenging concepts instead of surviving the morning. Your supplies enable active learning, providing the necessary energy for the deep concentration required in physical science and chemistry.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, the consistency of having this resource allows us to maintain a high level of academic rigor and student engagement. Knowing that I can provide a quick, healthy intervention ensures that every student, regardless of their circumstances outside the classroom, has the physical ability to engage fully with the lesson on energy. Your continuous support helps us sustain this vital program, reinforcing that we can only achieve excellence in science when we first address the well-being of the whole student. Thank you so much for making this powerful difference.","fullyFundedDate":1763601077843,"projectUrl":"project/food-for-thought-supporting-students-in/9783234/","projectTitle":"Food for Thought: Supporting Students in Need","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Altstaetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10103783_orig.jpg?crop=730,730,x223,y730&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753974707055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10103783"},{"teacherId":10103783,"projectId":9781578,"letterContent":"I am absolutely thrilled to share the incredible impact your generosity has had in my physical science and honors chemistry classroom. We send our deepest gratitude for helping us acquire the human-sized periodic table! Since we operate out of a standard classroom without sinks or gas lines, having this massive, dynamic resource has truly transformed how my students interact with the fundamental building blocks of chemistry. Their reaction was priceless! :)\r\n\r\nWhen the box was finally opened, and the full scale table was revealed, there were gasps and a spontaneous round of applause! The sheer size made the elements feel real and important, immediately shifting their perception from a dry chart in their chromebooks to a colorful, immediate tool that fills our entire learning space.\r\n\r\nThe large scale periodic table is a nonstop teaching aid. We use it every single day, especially when exploring concepts that require spatial visualization, like electron configuration and chemical bonding. For example, in our honors chemistry class, we recently used the table to model the reactivity of different groups. I asked students to physically stand at the location of an element, such as Sulfur or Potassium, and point out its period and group number. By doing this, they were able to see and feel the trend that elements in Group 1 are highly reactive, and Group 18 are stable. This specific, kinetic moment of getting up, walking to the wall, and physically touching the elements has cemented the concept of valence electrons and stability in a way that staring at a small diagram never could. It turns the entire wall into a teaching moment, making abstract patterns concrete and impossible to ignore.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, the periodic table will continue to be our anchor. Our current project involves moving from naming individual elements to naming complex compounds. Next unit, we will start balancing chemical equations which requires students to constantly reference charge predictions and element symbols. \r\n\r\nThanks to your support, instead of waiting for their chromebooks to load, my students will simply look up and immediately confirm the charges for ions like Na+ or O2- directly on the wall. This instant access to information allows them to focus less on memorizing data and more on mastering the core critical thinking skills required to predict reactions and build molecules. Thank you again for investing in our students and making chemistry a huge, hands-on success story!","fullyFundedDate":1763606995361,"projectUrl":"project/periodic-success-a-table-every-student/9781578/","projectTitle":"Periodic Success: A Table Every Student Can Count On","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Altstaetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10103783_orig.jpg?crop=730,730,x223,y730&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753974707055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10103783"},{"teacherId":10103783,"projectId":9720020,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, my students now have access to eight brand new digital scales that are already transforming our lab experience in Honors Chemistry and Physical Science. We have been using them to collect accurate, consistent data during hands-on investigations. Everything from measuring the mass of unknown substances to analyzing reactants and products in chemical reactions. One of our first labs with the new scales involved calculating density, and students were so excited to finally be able to compare their measurements with precision instead of estimating or sharing a single old scale between large lab groups.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students saw the new materials, their eyes lit up! Several of them cheered, saying, \"We finally have real science equipment!\" It was a joy to see them eager to jump into their lab work, knowing they could each take part in data collection rather than waiting on old or malfunctioning equipment. These scales have made them feel like true scientists. And that confidence has made a noticeable impact on their engagement in class.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are preparing for a series of labs focused on chemical reactions, conservation of mass, and stoichiometry. These lessons require precise mass measurements to draw valid scientific conclusions, something we can now achieve thanks to your support. Your donation didn't just bring new tools into our classroom; it opened the door to deeper understanding, greater independence, and more exciting discoveries for every student.

Because of the basic classroom supplies you helped provide, my students have been able to transform a carpeted, non-lab science room into a space buzzing with creativity, hands-on learning, and real scientific exploration.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the markers, glue, scissors, coloring utensils, and other supplies, their excitement was contagious. Instead of sitting in front of a screen, they were eager to dive in, use their hands, and bring science concepts to life. One student even told me, \"This doesn't feel like just learning; it feels like building something real.\"\r\n\r\nAlready, these supplies have allowed us to complete some amazing projects:\r\n\r\n1.) My students created atomic timeline posters and quantum mechanical models of atoms using glue, scissors, markers, and more! These now decorate inside and outside of my classroom. Many teachers have LOVED coming into my room to see the hard work of my students.\r\n\r\n2.) My physical science students designed 2D \"beakers\" filled with elements, compounds, and mixtures. With crayons (they loved the triangle shapes by the way), color pencils, and markers they were able to engage with concepts that our human eyes cannot see.\r\n\r\n3.) My honors chemistry students used colored pencils and markers to build a periodic table electron configuration chart. They also colored an normal periodic able but I forgot to take a photo of this. \r\n\r\n4.) Lastly my students even created light spectra emission lines for different gases hydrogen, helium, and neon. They need to have all colors of the rainbow specifically with color pencils in order do to this lab. This lab would not have been possible with out this supply.\r\n\r\nThese projects not only deepened their understanding of abstract scientific ideas but also strengthened their public speaking, craftsmanship, and collaboration skills.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my classes is to continue blending creativity with science. Now that I've seen how powerful these simple supplies can be, I plan to challenge students to create interactive presentations and models they can share with peers, teachers, and even our administrators.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn science in such a meaningful, hands-on way. Your support has made our classroom feel like a true place of discovery, even without the traditional lab setting.","fullyFundedDate":1756597582813,"projectUrl":"project/fight-screens-with-crafts-and-science/9521213/","projectTitle":"Fight Screens with Crafts and Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Altstaetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10103783_orig.jpg?crop=730,730,x223,y730&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753974707055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10103783"},{"teacherId":10229984,"projectId":9660895,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contributions to our classroom project. The caddies for the lab cabinets have made a huge difference in keeping our small materials organized and safe, and the organization cart with the folder space has streamlined how students turn in their assignments. The privacy screens have also created a respectful environment for assessments, allowing students to focus and do their best.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw these new resources, their excitement was palpable! They immediately appreciated how much easier it was to find and manage their materials, and they took pride in keeping our space neat and orderly. One memorable moment was during our recent science lab: students quickly accessed the organized supplies, which helped the experiment run smoothly and boosted their confidence in working independently.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we're now moving forward with a group project where students will design and conduct their own experiments, using the lab materials and organized resources you helped provide. This next step will deepen their understanding and engagement in the scientific process.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enriched our classroom, and we're so grateful to have you as partners in our students' learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1757613042076,"projectUrl":"project/help-students-learn-better-with-organiza/9660895/","projectTitle":"Help Students Learn Better With Organization and Privacy Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gollihue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10229984_orig.png?crop=256,256,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756406421019","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10229984"},{"teacherId":10103783,"projectId":9521361,"letterContent":"First of all thank you so much for sending my classroom new calculators and a calculator organizer!\r\n\r\nMany of my students come from families who cannot afford their own calculators, while a few classmates have expensive graphing models. Thanks to your generosity, every single student now has access to a reliable scientific calculator. When I told these students I had brand new calculators for my students to use throughout this year they were so excited. They never have to feel left out since they know they will have a device of their own. They love that there is a designated place for my calculators so they always know where they are and can grab them whenever they need it. Having their own device helps them feel included, confident, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThese calculators have truly transformed my classroom. At the beginning of the year I had a co-worker donate hand me down calculators that were at least 20 years old. At least 7 of them do not even turn on any more and if they do function they can only handle the basic operations. Now with these new Ti-30 calculators students can perform scientific notation calculation, multi-step calculations, and so much more. Now after having these calculators for a little while I can tell my students to grab for these calculators first. I've also noticed that students are off of their computers and even their phones in class since they have this physical device in their hand. The amount of discipline issues I've had with phones has gone down since I have received these awesome devices. This has made my classroom way more enjoyable for me and my students.\r\n\r\nSo far my students have used these calculators in three different labs! My chemistry students have used these to calculate the proper number of significant figures of volume, area, perimeter and more with rules and graduated cylinders. My physical science students have applied their algebra skills to determine the density of mystery objects in an FBI themed lab. Lastly, my students have completed ratio calculations with an Oobleck lab where they had to mathematically prove the correct ratio of corn starch to water. \r\n\r\nAll in all these items may seem small and have honestly impacted my classroom every day. You have made my students feel welcomed, loved, seen, and valued by giving this to my room. I cannot thank you all enough. Moving to North Carolina has brought its challenges but this has made my transition to my new school a smooth one!\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755690469802,"projectUrl":"project/calculating-a-brighter-future-in-science/9521361/","projectTitle":"Calculating a Brighter Future in Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Altstaetter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10103783_orig.jpg?crop=730,730,x223,y730&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753974707055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10103783"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1831","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2604,"numTeachers":144,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.7,"schoolId":1831,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Enloe Magnet High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Enloe Magnet High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/enloe-high-school/1831"}
