Because of your kindness, I was able to purchase microscope slides and blood typing kits that truly brought science to life for my students.\r\n\r\nThese materials gave students the opportunity to move beyond textbooks and experience science firsthand. Using real equipment allowed them to observe, question, and think like scientists, making lessons more engaging and meaningful. The excitement and curiosity they showed during these activities made it clear how powerful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nYour donation directly impacted my students by providing them with experiences they will remember long after the lesson ends. The students had so much fun using the blood typing kits to \"solve a murder\" at the school, using what they had learned of genetics and how blood reacts to certain substances and antigens. They continue to talk about this experiment and ask when we can do something similar again. I am incredibly grateful for your support and for believing in the importance of quality science education.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and in the learning of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1761049786532,"projectUrl":"project/high-school-biology-supplies/9833820/","projectTitle":"High School Biology Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaminski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10314126"},{"teacherId":8804187,"projectId":9078395,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support in funding our project to provide students with take-home chargers. Your donation has made a significant difference in the lives of our students, helping to bridge the digital divide and ensure they have the tools they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. With your gift, students no longer have to worry about their devices dying during critical homework sessions or while studying for exams. This project is especially timely as our district is transitioning to a new digital textbook platform, which requires consistent access to charged devices. Your contribution ensures that every student can reliably access these new resources, leveling the playing field for all learners.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your generosity extends beyond just a single class period; it fosters a sense of equity and reliability that is crucial for modern education. Providing students with their own chargers gives them ownership over their learning and eliminates a common barrier to completing assignments and engaging with online content. This simple but powerful resource is not just a piece of technology; it's a key to unlocking greater access to digital resources and a more seamless learning experience for all. We've already seen the positive effects in our classrooms, and we are so grateful for your belief in our students' potential.","fullyFundedDate":1746785509690,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-learning-providing-chargers-fo/9078395/","projectTitle":"Power Up Learning: Providing Chargers for Student Devices","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kuszynski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jjkuszynski2"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105093","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":264,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":87,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.4,"schoolId":105093,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Richard T Crane Med Preparatory High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Richard T Crane Med Preparatory High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/richard-t-crane-rtc-medical-preparatory-high-sc/105093"}
