Your generosity has made an immediate and meaningful impact on our school environment, and we are incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we were able to provide our students with a variety of sensory tools and engaging visual materials, including bulletin board paper and educational posters. These resources have transformed our space into a more welcoming, stimulating, and supportive learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe sensory toys are especially important in helping students regulate their emotions, stay focused, and feel comfortable throughout the school day. Whether they're being used during independent work time or as a calming tool during transitions, these items have already made a noticeable difference in student engagement and behavior.\r\n\r\nThe bulletin board supplies and posters have allowed us to create vibrant, organized, and encouraging displays that celebrate student work and reinforce academic and social-emotional learning. These visual cues not only brighten our space but also serve as daily reminders of what our students are capable of achieving.\r\n\r\nYour contribution goes far beyond materials—it supports the emotional well-being, creativity, and confidence of our students. It sends a powerful message that our kids are seen, valued, and supported by their community.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and believing in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1741206270878,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-look-and-feel-good/9088311/","projectTitle":"Help Us look and Feel Good!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1092742"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44116","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1813,"numTeachers":112,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":44116,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Haven High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Haven High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/west-haven-public-schools/west-haven-high-school/44116"}
