Your support has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students by putting essential learning tools directly into their hands. Thanks to you, each student now has access to a personal dictionary, an invaluable resource that promotes literacy, curiosity, and a deeper engagement with language.\r\n\r\nThese dictionaries are already making a noticeable impact in our classroom. Students are using them to build vocabulary, strengthen their writing, and develop a greater sense of independence as learners. The excitement on their faces when they received their own copies was truly heartwarming. It's moments like these that remind us of the power of community and the importance of investing in education.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and belief in our students' potential. Your donation is more than just a gif, it's a lasting contribution to their academic journey and personal growth. Thank you for being a part of our classroom's success story.","fullyFundedDate":1747211001746,"projectUrl":"project/dictionaries-for-dwsa/9314761/","projectTitle":"Dictionaries for DWSA","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Powe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9341713_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y269&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743002360552","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9341713"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95570","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":412,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":76,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":95570,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Denzel Washington School of the Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Denzel Washington School of the Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/mount-vernon-city-school-district/nellie-thornton-high-school/95570"}
