Because of your kindness, our students now have access to individual iPad chargers in five seventh-grade classrooms, and the impact has already been tremendous.\r\n\r\nA simple iPad charger next to a student's seat may not seem like a big change, but in a busy middle school classroom, it makes all the difference. Before this project was funded, students often had to move across the room to find an available outlet, share chargers, or even leave the classroom to power up their devices. This meant lost instructional time, missed directions, and unnecessary distractions. Now, with a charger readily accessible beside them, students can remain fully engaged in their learning without interruption. Instruction flows seamlessly, transitions are smoother, and valuable class minutes are preserved.\r\n\r\nThis project funded iPad chargers for five seventh-grade classrooms. Every seventh grader enters one of these rooms each day, so the entire seventh grade benefits from your generosity. Whether students are researching, collaborating on shared documents, completing assessments, or engaging in interactive lessons, they can rely on having a charged device ready to support their learning. Your donation has helped create a more efficient, focused, and equitable learning environment for all of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1767215096321,"projectUrl":"project/new-classroon-ipad-chargers/9922386/","projectTitle":"New Classroon iPad Chargers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Paull","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10359252"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28667","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":644,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":5,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":28667,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northbrook Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northbrook Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/northbrook-district-28/northbrook-junior-high-school/28667"}
