By replacing our makeshift rims with these professional-grade materials, our 500 energetic students now have access to a safe, durable basketball setup during daily gym classes and recreational periods, maximizing their motivation to stay active and healthy. Furthermore, this essential equipment has laid the foundation for our athletics department's exciting expansion, allowing our new physical education teacher to properly prepare our student-athletes as we officially debut our first-ever boys and girls basketball teams in the PSAL local league this upcoming school year. For a high-poverty student body passionate about the game, your support has provided far more than sports gear; it has introduced an enriching extracurricular outlet that fosters team unity, promotes physical fitness, and ensures that these historic investments will continue to positively shape our school community for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1570843193505,"projectUrl":"project/give-our-students-a-shot/4503426/","projectTitle":"Give Our Students a Shot!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zaimi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2526170_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696167864272","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2526170"},{"teacherId":2526170,"projectId":4167864,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of the DreamSky digital timers to our classroom. These resources have significantly enhanced our students' time-management skills across multiple subjects, including reading, science labs, art, and physical education. Previously, I had to display a countdown clock on the overhead projector, but these portable, magnetic timers now allow me to utilize the screen exclusively for instructional slides, videos, and modeling. The students were incredibly receptive to the bright red displays and adjustable alarms, noting how much easier it is to stay focused and accountable during activities. Currently, students are using the timers in collaborative groups, taking turns as \"project managers\" to delegate tasks and monitor their own pacing. These practical tools are doing so much more than keeping our lessons on schedule—they are equipping our students with essential organizational and executive functioning skills that will serve them well throughout high school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1569266517549,"projectUrl":"project/keep-learning-on-track-with-a-shot-clo/4167864/","projectTitle":"Keep learning on track! with a \"shot clock\"!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zaimi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2526170_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696167864272","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2526170"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_93540","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":352,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":87,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":42.9,"schoolId":93540,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Queens Academy High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Queens Academy High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/queens-academy-high-school/93540"}
