You helped me create a wonderful environment that made my students feel welcomed, encouraged, and supported. The students got so excited when they first say the supplies! Students loved having the positive encouragement. The whiteboard paddle boards were a huge hit! We used them to help review for the AP exam. The clipboards allowed the students to walk around and do work at the same time. The squishys were included in a good luck packet for students the day before the AP Exam. The games were a great brain break for students and I way for them to have some fun and connect. \r\nI really appreciate you making this happen!","fullyFundedDate":1742907958144,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-updates/9147469/","projectTitle":"Classroom Updates","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8458478"},{"teacherId":1917200,"projectId":9256680,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has transformed into a vibrant, student-centered learning space. When the students first walked in and saw the new work area, soft rug, and flexible seating corner, their eyes lit up with excitement. They immediately started exploring the new setup, picking their favorite seats, and imagining the possibilities.\r\n\r\nStudents are now using this space to work collaboratively on group projects, discuss ideas for in-class assignments, and share their insights in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The flexible seating options have made it easier for them to connect with each other, breaking down barriers and encouraging creative thinking.\r\n\r\nBeyond class time, this corner has become a refuge. Students arrive early to catch a quiet moment before the hustle of the day, and some even choose to stay in the classroom during breaks, using the cozy rug and seating to decompress or chat with friends.\r\n\r\nThis space is more than just a physical change – it has created a sense of belonging and connection. Thank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1745086103374,"projectUrl":"project/a-calm-creative-space-for-independent-/9256680/","projectTitle":"A Calm, Creative Space for Independent & Group Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Newsom-Wuertz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1917200_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724170704488","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rnewsom-wuertz"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106539","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1358,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"28.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.7,"schoolId":106539,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sage Creek High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sage Creek High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/carlsbad-unified-school-district/sage-creek-high-school/106539"}
