Having snacks, juice, sanitary wipes, and notebooks in our classroom makes such a difference in our students' day-to-day experiences. The snacks and juice give them a little boost when they need it, the wipes help us keep our classroom clean, and the notebooks give them a space to write, practice, and show what they are learning. These may seem like simple supplies, but they help our classroom run more smoothly and allow me to focus on what matters most: helping my students learn and grow.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were excited and happy! It was so nice to see their smiles and watch them get excited about having new supplies to use. As a teacher, those little moments mean so much to me because I know that having the things they need can help students feel supported, comfortable, and ready to learn. Knowing that people they may never meet took the time to support our classroom makes the experience even more special.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, my students will continue using their notebooks for classwork, writing activities, and practicing new skills. We will also keep building good habits by taking care of our classroom and looking out for one another. I love being able to create a space where my students feel cared for and can do their best, and your generosity helps make that possible. Thank you for thinking of my students and helping make our classroom a happier, healthier, and more supportive place to learn. Your kindness truly makes a difference!","fullyFundedDate":1786942553254,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-success-with-classroo/10407045/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Success With Classroom Essentials & Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Swan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10560533"},{"teacherId":7654990,"projectId":10319218,"letterContent":"I want to thank all of you for your generous contributions!

Your generosity has allowed me to breach this gap and assure that everyone has access to the same materials.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, many of my struggling students use not having materials as an excuse for not doing their work. This has been more true this year than ever before. Many of them come to high school completely unprepared and have begun to shut down as a result.

Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the way our students experience learning in Information Technology, Engineering, and Computer Science.\r\n\r\nMany of our students find it challenging to keep up when learning new technology. The Snap Circuit Explorer Kits have helped make these concepts more approachable, hands-on, and exciting. Instead of simply reading about circuits and technology, students can now build, experiment, problem-solve, and immediately see the results of their work.\r\n\r\nThe kits have sparked curiosity and encouraged students to become more engaged in their learning. With more than 100 projects available, students have countless opportunities to explore new ideas and use their creativity. Even more exciting is watching students realize that there is no limit to what they can design and create with their own imagination.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students are developing important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, and perseverance. They are learning that making a mistake is not failure—it is an opportunity to try again, make adjustments, and discover a solution.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide classroom materials. You have helped create moments of excitement, discovery, and confidence for our students. You have given them an opportunity to see themselves as engineers, computer scientists, innovators, and creators.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your investment in our students and their future. Thank you for helping us make technology and computer science learning more engaging, meaningful, and accessible to every student.","fullyFundedDate":1757961348959,"projectUrl":"project/building-creating-fun-technically/9598741/","projectTitle":"Building Creating Fun Technically","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Nails","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9080868_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687786918397","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nails"},{"teacherId":8851690,"projectId":10266661,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my Digital Communications students now have exactly the tool their work has always demanded — and it's already changing how they create. With their own Lenovo mice now, students are navigating professional software the way industry professionals actually do — and that shift shows up immediately in the quality and confidence of their work.\r\n\r\nWhat's been most exciting to students is how much smoother their actual creative process feels now. Editing a podcast timeline or fine-tuning a graphic used to mean fighting the hardware just to execute an idea they already had clearly in their head — now that friction is gone, and students are moving at the speed of their thinking instead of the speed of their trackpad. \r\n\r\nBeyond any single student, this gift means all 25 learners in this class now have equal footing to do real creative work — no one is held back by a tool that wasn't built for the job. In a class built around design, video, podcasting, and web production, that's not a small convenience; it's the difference between students merely completing an assignment and students producing work they're genuinely proud to call their own. Thank you for recognizing that a mouse, in this room, is as essential as a paintbrush — and for helping young digital communications students build the skills to make their mark.","fullyFundedDate":1778694361391,"projectUrl":"project/mice-are-nice/10266661/","projectTitle":"Mice are Nice","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cambron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8851690_orig.jpg?crop=350,350,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709828005550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-cambron"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1215,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":38,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.2,"schoolId":44555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newark High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newark High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/christina-school-district/newark-high-school/44555"}
