Your thoughtful contribution is making a significant impact on their learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe highlighters have been particularly valuable in helping our students analyze primary sources in history. They have allowed students to engage more deeply with historical documents, emphasizing key ideas and fostering critical thinking. The act of annotating and highlighting has enabled them to connect with the material on a much more meaningful level, improving their comprehension and strengthening their historical analysis skills.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the snacks have kept students energized and focused during their learning, and the markers have been put to excellent use in our advisory classes. The markers were especially useful for the Black History Month Door Decoration Challenge, where students expressed their creativity and learned more about important historical figures. The project brought our school community together, and it was inspiring to see students use their markers to bring vibrant, meaningful visuals to life.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students are better equipped to succeed academically, creatively, and personally. On behalf of everyone at Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers, I want to thank you again for your kindness and support. Your contribution truly makes a difference in my students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1733246926355,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-student-success/8969954/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Student Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abraham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4165206_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1482289475171","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4165206"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":104824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kennedy Health Career Academy - Gr 9-11 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kennedy Health Career Academy - Gr 9-11","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/kennedy-health-career-academy-gr-9-10/104824"}
