I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of calculators and Teacher Pay Teacher gift cards for our Financial Literacy program. Your support has made a significant impact, and I am beyond thankful for your thoughtfulness and commitment to enhancing the learning experience of our students.\r\n\r\nAs you may know, financial literacy is a crucial subject that equips young people with the skills and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about money and their future. The calculators you donated are not just tools—they are gateways to understanding complex financial concepts like understanding coin and dollar amounts, place values, and calculating total amounts of a purchase.. These calculators will make learning more accessible for students, especially in lessons that involve hands-on calculations, and will provide them with the practical skills they'll carry with them for a lifetime.\r\n\r\nThe Teacher Pay Teacher gift card you provided is also an invaluable contribution. Teachers, especially those of us in specialized subjects like Financial Literacy, often seek out additional resources to bring lessons to life. With your gift card, we are now able to access a wide range of high-quality, creative materials designed specifically for financial literacy. These resources will allow us to create more engaging, interactive, and effective lesson plans, ensuring that our students are not only learning the theory behind finance but also applying that knowledge in real-world scenarios.\r\nYour donation is not just about providing materials—it is about giving our students the tools they need to succeed. As an educator, it is deeply rewarding to know that there are people like you who understand the importance of financial education and are willing to support it. Your generosity reflects a commitment to building a brighter future, not just for our students but for the communities they will go on to serve.\r\nThe financial literacy curriculum we teach is so much more than just numbers—it's about fostering critical thinking, promoting responsibility, and empowering our students to take control of their financial futures. Your support helps us nurture these values and gives our students the confidence to approach financial challenges with knowledge and clarity. Whether they are learning to recognize coins, learning to add total with tax, or calculating change, these skills will serve them for years to come.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your kind and thoughtful contribution. It is clear that you care deeply about education and the future of our students. Your donation will have a lasting effect, and we are so fortunate to have your support. Please know that your generosity is greatly appreciated by both the students and the entire teaching team. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these resources will have on our classroom.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and your belief in the power of education. We are truly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1727532623294,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-life-financial-literacy/8797487/","projectTitle":"Tools for Life: Financial Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Deppel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8681518"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31141","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2234,"numTeachers":112,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.7,"schoolId":31141,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mountain View High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mountain View High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/stafford-county-school-district/mountain-view-high-school/31141"}
