Your support has made a remarkable impact—not only on our learning environment but on the lives of students who may not have otherwise had access to such meaningful, hands-on technology experiences.\r\n\r\nThe Edison robots have opened up a world of discovery and creativity for my students. Through coding and designing with these robots, they are not only learning essential 21st-century skills but also building confidence, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork. Watching their faces light up as their programs come to life has been one of the most rewarding parts of my teaching career.\r\n\r\nMany of our students come from underserved communities, and opportunities like this are rare. Your contribution has provided them with a powerful platform to explore engineering and computer science in a fun, engaging way. It has sparked curiosity in future careers and shown them that they are capable of doing big things with the right tools and encouragement.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and investing in their futures. Your support has truly made a difference.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nRhonda Villaverde\r\nSTEM Educator","fullyFundedDate":1739373212435,"projectUrl":"project/lighting-the-spark-empowering-future-in/9015199/","projectTitle":"Lighting the Spark: Empowering Future Innovators with Edison Robots!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. V.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9472306_orig.jpg?crop=2434,2434,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739395159412","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9472306"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95115","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":752,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.2,"schoolId":95115,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Villago Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Villago Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/casa-grande-elementary-school-district-4/villago-middle-school/95115"}
