Because of your kindness, my students now have access to resources that are making a real difference in their daily learning experience.\r\n\r\nWith the new materials, we've been able to create a more comfortable and engaging classroom environment. For example, having a new teacher chair has allowed me to move more easily around the room and better support my students during lessons. The markers and organizational supplies have made our activities more interactive, especially during group work and writing exercises. Additionally, the laminating materials have helped us preserve important resources that we use repeatedly.\r\n\r\nOne of the most special moments was seeing my students' reactions when they first saw everything. They were genuinely excited and grateful, especially for the snacks. Many of them come to class hungry, so having food available has helped them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. It created an immediate sense of comfort and care in our classroom.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are using these resources to support ongoing projects, including collaborative assignments, creative writing activities, and interactive lessons. The organizational tools are helping students stay on track, while the classroom supplies are encouraging participation and creativity. Most importantly, your support has helped create a space where students feel valued and motivated to do their best.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and for making such a meaningful impact on our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768397155845,"projectUrl":"project/save-my-tailbone-and-my-hungry-students/9911000/","projectTitle":"Save My Tailbone and My Hungry Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. SANDÃ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10358066_orig.png?crop=338,338,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768259054752","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10358066"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53323","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1564,"numTeachers":68,"percentFrplEligible":11,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.2,"schoolId":53323,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cactus Shadows High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cactus Shadows High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/cave-creek-unified-school-district/cactus-shadows-high-school/53323"}
