Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful difference for a remarkable, diverse group of thinkers and dreamers who show up every day ready to grow. These students consistently rise to challenges with heart and determination, seeking opportunities to include others, build community, and uplift voices often unheard. Their curiosity, empathy, and courage fuel not only their own learning but also the positive change they hope to create in the world. Your contribution helps sustain that spirit and strengthens the community they work so hard to nurture.\r\n\r\nThese materials helped us promote equity, creativity, and shared learning opportunities that allowed students to think, feel, and grow together. These supplies supported students in their learning as they analyzed the literary elements, symbols, themes, and connections to history and current events in the stories they explored this semester. From students in my English 10 class, to those participating in the Diversity Theater production, every student had access to the materials they needed to do the hard academic work in a creative, individualized way that improved the learning experience. Thank you for believing in them, investing in their future, and helping their voices shine.","fullyFundedDate":1755889811480,"projectUrl":"project/essentials-to-explore-express-every-st/9521236/","projectTitle":"Essentials to Explore & Express Every Story with Empathy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5415374_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663374171755","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stagecraft"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57546","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1580,"numTeachers":117,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":61.3,"schoolId":57546,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Topeka High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Topeka High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/topeka-unified-school-district-501/topeka-high-school/57546"}
