When the boxes arrived, my students could hardly contain their excitement. They gathered around immediately, unboxed each item, and worked together to put the garden systems together from start to finish. It was so meaningful to watch them problem-solve, help one another, and cheer when everything clicked into place. They were proud of what they built, and it set the tone for everything that came next.\r\n\r\nSince then, our classroom has turned into a lively and colorful growing space. Students begin each day by checking on our plants, testing water levels, adjusting the lights, and gently pruning leaves. They love seeing new growth and often point out changes to each other before class has even started. We have already transferred many of our strongest plants into larger pots, and our windowsills are now filled with healthy, thriving greenery. The seed starter kits encouraged students to compare soil growth with hydroponic growth, and the aquaponic system has sparked so many great questions about sustainability, ecosystems, and how food is grown in the real world.\r\n\r\nYour gift did so much more than provide materials. It gave my students hands-on experiences that helped them see themselves as gardeners, scientists, and caretakers. Their next steps include documenting growth patterns, experimenting with different nutrient levels, and preparing to harvest our first classroom-grown herbs and greens. Your generosity has created daily moments of pride and curiosity that I know they will remember for a long time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my classroom grow in every possible way.","fullyFundedDate":1757546684792,"projectUrl":"project/rooted-in-innovation-growing-green-in-o/9355466/","projectTitle":"Rooted in Innovation: Growing Green in our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Conway","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6084390_orig.png?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1559088548828","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6084390"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89337","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":89337,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Keystone Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Keystone Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/keystone-school-district/keystone-junior-senior-high-school/89337"}
