Because of your generous support, this project moved from an idea into a living, growing experience - one that has had a powerful impact on our students. \r\n\r\nYour funding allowed students to build and care for a hydroponics system, explore sustainable food systems, and see firsthand how innovation can nourish people, cultures, and ecosystems - especially here in our desert community of Las Vegas. What began as curiosity quickly turned into responsibility, teamwork, and pride.\r\n\r\nThrough project-based and personalized learning pathways, students are stepping into meaningful roles as designers, historians, investigators, artists, and system managers. They are researching , creating , problem-solving , and presenting their learning with confidence. Many students who were once hesitant to speak up became leaders in their groups. Others discovering new interests in sustainability, food systems, storytelling, and environmental stewardship.\r\n\r\nPerhaps most importantly, our students growing beyond academics. They are learning how to collaborate respectfully, care for shared resources, give and receive feedback, and reflect on their own growth. Watching them explain how hydroponics works, share family food traditions, and connect sustainability to real-world challenges has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping our students see that learning can be hands-on, meaningful, and connected to the world around them. Your support planted more than seeds. It cultivated confidence, curiosity, and hope for the future.","fullyFundedDate":1768712149468,"projectUrl":"project/growing-the-future/10033048/","projectTitle":"Growing the Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cuevas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10408717"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134327","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":null,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":false,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":134327,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about WYLEES Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"WYLEES Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/wylees-charter-school/134327"}
