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"}
