It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child, and your support has proven that this \"village\" extends far beyond our school walls. The arrival of our new printer, safety curtains, prizes, fidgets, snacks, furniture and vibrant decorations has transformed our room from a standard workspace into a dynamic, safe, and motivating learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe new printer has been an absolute lifeline for our daily productivity. I am now able to print tailored supplemental materials, graphic organizers, and hands-on activities the moment I identify a student's specific need. This level of differentiation was previously impossible, and it has allowed my students to engage with the curriculum more deeply. Furthermore, the safety curtains have provided a much-needed sense of security. Beyond simply managing the glare on our boards, they allow us to quickly and effectively secure the room during safety drills, giving my students (and myself) the peace of mind necessary to focus entirely on learning.\r\n\r\nThe shift in student morale has been perhaps the most rewarding change. The decorations, snacks, prizes, fidgets, and new furniture have turned our classroom into a space that feels intentional, warm, and professional, which has significantly boosted student motivation and pride. My students now walk into a room that looks like it was designed specifically for their success. Combined with the prizes used to celebrate their hard work and milestones, the atmosphere has become one of joy and achievement. Thank you for not only providing supplies but for investing in the safety and happiness of my students!","fullyFundedDate":1763045836968,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-students/9868569/","projectTitle":"Supporting Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gudbrandson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10267079"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68917","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1066,"numTeachers":69,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":68917,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Pleasant High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Pleasant High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/mount-pleasant-public-school-district/mt-pleasant-high-school/68917"}
