Because of you, my 10th and 12th graders have been able to enjoy every moment of learning in an environment that truly supports their creativity, focus, and comfort. The gamer chairs, bouncy bands, beach chairs, and speaker have been an absolute hit! Whether they are working on creative podcasts, DJing during independent work, or simply diving into a great book, these gifts have transformed our classroom into a space where they feel inspired and valued.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming things I've witnessed is how much this generosity has meant to them. Many of my students come from backgrounds where opportunities like this are rare, and they constantly remark on how they can't believe our class was \"chosen.\" Your kindness has made them feel seen, special, and worthy of something extraordinary. They have loved using these resources during class and even during breaks, and it has made a lasting impact on their engagement and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this dream a reality for my students. Your support has brought joy, excitement, and a renewed sense of belonging to our classroom. You have given them more than just seating—you have given them a space where they can learn, create, and thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1730562458698,"projectUrl":"project/21st-century-learning-for-all/8547696/","projectTitle":"21st Century Learning for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9622938"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46453","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1458,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.5,"schoolId":46453,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tavares High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tavares High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/lake-county-school-district/tavares-high-school/46453"}
