I am writing to share the incredible impact your donations have made on both my students and our local community.\r\nWith the quilting supplies purchased through your gifts, my students stepped into the roles of designers and makers. They spent weeks carefully selecting patterns, measuring with precision, and cutting vibrant fabrics to create 12 beautiful baby quilt tops.\r\nWe are proud to share that these handmade pieces have been donated to Life Choices, a local non-profit that supports new parents and their infants.\r\nThe impact of your gift was twofold:\r\nIn the Classroom: My students learned the value of craftsmanship, the importance of \"measuring twice and cutting once,\" and the joy of using their own hands to create something from scratch.\r\nIn the Community: Families walking through a difficult season at Life Choices will receive a tangible reminder that their community cares for them. These quilts offer warmth, comfort, and a beautiful welcome to a new life.\r\nYour support did more than buy fabric and rotary cutters; it provided a lesson in empathy and service that my students will carry with them long after the semester ends.\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping us wrap our community's newest members in love.","fullyFundedDate":1764723808742,"projectUrl":"project/geometric-quilting-project-geometry-in/9893835/","projectTitle":"Geometric Quilting Project: Geometry in the Real World","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10349623"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11646","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1114,"numTeachers":75,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":72,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":42.9,"schoolId":11646,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ouachita Parish High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ouachita Parish High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/ouachita-parish-school-district/ouachita-parish-high-school/11646"}
