On behalf of Communities In Schools and Columbus Public Schools, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our \"Crunk My Crocs\" project. Thanks to your contribution, we were able to create a truly magical experience for our students, and we cannot thank you enough for making this possible.\r\n\r\nWatching the students light up with excitement as they decorated their Crocs was a sight to behold. Each of the 20 participants poured their creativity into customizing their footwear, using an array of colors, stickers, and embellishments that reflected their personalities and unique styles. The joy and enthusiasm in the room were palpable, and it was a proud moment to see each student express themselves fully and freely.\r\n\r\nBeyond the act of decorating, \"Crunk My Crocs\" fostered an environment of kindness and acceptance. The project encouraged meaningful relationships among the students, helping them to connect, collaborate, and build friendships. We observed their interactions blossom throughout the remainder of the school year, as they supported one another and continued to share moments of creativity and joy. Your support played a crucial role in nurturing this sense of community and belonging.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your generous contribution. It has made a lasting impact on our students, and we are excited to continue fostering growth, creativity, and connection through our programs. We look forward to sharing more stories of these incredible young women as they continue to thrive in our community.\r\n\r\nWarmest regards,\r\nLysa Harrington-Straughter | Site Coordinator\r\nWalnut Ridge High School\r\nCommunities In Schools of Ohio\r\nOffice: 614-268-2472 | Fax: 614-268-4260 \r\nCell: 614-202-4857\r\nlharrington@ciskids.org\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n \r\nThe mission of Communities In Schools of Ohio is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.","fullyFundedDate":1735481956493,"projectUrl":"project/crunk-our-crocs/9016321/","projectTitle":"Crunk Our Crocs!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. harrington-straughter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9881052"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84066","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":777,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":84066,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Walnut Ridge High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Walnut Ridge High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/columbus-city-school-district/walnut-ridge-high-school/84066"}
