Our classroom notebooks are more than just supplies. They are the living record of each student's learning journey.\r\n\r\nAfter receiving the new notebooks, students jumped right back into their work with renewed energy. In English II, they collected and analyzed key textual evidence from Hamlet, tracking themes and character development in ways that build toward sophisticated literary analysis. In AP Language, students actively broke down rhetorical devices in speeches and essays, annotating directly in their notebooks to refine their critical thinking. Meanwhile, our English IV students drafted and revised college-level essays, using their notebooks as a space to experiment, reflect, and strengthen their writing.\r\n\r\nYour support made a tangible difference in our classrooms. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1745461357683,"projectUrl":"project/english-notebook-re-stock/9265155/","projectTitle":"English Notebook Re-Stock","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Deming-Sterrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8301163_orig.jpg?crop=326,326,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683063055372","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8301163"},{"teacherId":8301163,"projectId":6380894,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom through this project. I taught nearly the entire 10th grade at my previous high school, which meant I had the privilege of working with students who bring a wide range of strengths, perspectives, and learning needs. Your generosity helped me create an environment where every student has a chance to engage meaningfully with the material and feel successful in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe buzzer system you helped provide will continue to transform the way we review and interact with literature. By incorporating Jeopardy-style games, students can actively participate in reviewing plot, characters, literary devices, and language in a way that is both fun and memorable without the distractions that often come with phones or laptops. In addition, the stress balls will expand our limited collection of focus tools, giving more students the support they need to manage stress and stay engaged during class.\r\n\r\nYour support truly makes a difference in our classroom. You are helping to create a more inclusive, interactive, and supportive learning environment for all of my students. Thank you again for investing in their growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1651227477046,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-game-stress-relief-set/6380894/","projectTitle":"Classroom Game & Stress Relief Set","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Deming-Sterrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8301163_orig.jpg?crop=326,326,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683063055372","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8301163"},{"teacherId":8301163,"projectId":6159659,"letterContent":"Thank you for making our flexible seating project a reality. Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in my classroom every single day.\r\n\r\nThe new seating options have given every learner more choice and comfort. Students who struggle with sleep are able to use standing desks and stay alert in lessons. Those with attention and hyperactivity differences can shift and move in ways traditional desks didn't allow—helping them focus and engage. I've watched collaboration increase, writing stamina improve, and quiet corners become intentional spaces for deep thinking.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my classroom feels more welcoming and flexible, and my students are thriving in ways I couldn't have achieved alone. Thank you for believing in them and investing in their growth, curiosity, and well‑being. Your gift has truly changed their learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1648171242772,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-title-i-high-school/6159659/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Title I High School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Deming-Sterrett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8301163_orig.jpg?crop=326,326,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683063055372","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8301163"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105112","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":350,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":69.8,"schoolId":105112,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Uncommon Collegiate Charter High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Uncommon Collegiate Charter High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-state-department-education/uncommon-collegiate-charter-high-school/105112"}
