I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your generous contribution to my classroom. Thanks to your support, we now have access to new sensory items, basic school supplies, and adaptive materials that have made a significant impact on my students' learning experiences.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and curiosity. The sensory items, in particular, have been a game-changer. They've provided my students with the tools to help them focus and regulate their emotions, which has improved their ability to engage in lessons and participate in activities. It's been wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they explore and use these resources.\r\n\r\nOne specific project that has been greatly enhanced by these new supplies is our sensory-friendly classroom. The adaptive supplies have allowed students to engage more independently, and it's been amazing to see them gain confidence as they complete their tasks. We are currently working on biodiversity and conservation, and I'm excited to see how these materials will continue to support their growth.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for making a difference in my classroom. Your donation has not only provided essential supplies but has also inspired my students to approach their learning with renewed energy and enthusiasm. We truly appreciate your support!","fullyFundedDate":1734736203052,"projectUrl":"project/help-make-my-special-education-classroom/8798607/","projectTitle":"Help Make My Special Education Classroom Equipped for all Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hancock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6655502_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726674478876","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6655502"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98127","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1960,"numTeachers":90,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.2,"schoolId":98127,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heritage High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heritage High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/brevard-public-schools/heritage-high-school/98127"}
