We are using these classroom essentials daily — from notebooks and writing tools to organization supplies — so students can focus on learning instead of worrying about what they're missing. One of the most meaningful moments was watching students open their new supplies and immediately begin organizing their materials with pride. Something as simple as having their own notebook gave them a sense of ownership and confidence that truly changed the energy of our room.\r\n\r\nMy students were genuinely excited when the materials arrived. Several shared that it was the first time they didn't feel \"behind\" before the lesson even started. I saw quieter students raise their hands more, students stay engaged longer, and others take better care of their work because they finally had the tools they needed. These supplies removed a barrier that many students quietly carry, and the relief on their faces said more than words ever could.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using these materials to support daily lessons, hands-on activities, and reflective work that helps students build responsibility, confidence, and consistency. Because of you, my classroom is a more welcoming, organized, and equitable space — one where students feel seen, supported, and capable of success. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping create a classroom where dignity and learning go hand in hand.","fullyFundedDate":1764970267190,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9941096/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Simental","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10362522"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63977","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":333,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":63977,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Santa Rita High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Santa Rita High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/tucson-unified-school-district/santa-rita-high-school/63977"}
