Because of you, our first-ever Decision Day was more than just a celebration—it became a powerful moment of recognition, joy, and motivation for our graduating seniors.\r\n\r\nYour donation helped us provide real-life essentials like iPads, earphones, speakers, and mini fridges, which are already making a tangible impact. While these may seem like everyday items, for our students, they represent opportunity, preparedness, and a sense of belonging as they step into college or the workforce.\r\n\r\nMany of our students will be the first in their families to attend college, and the prizes they received through this event play a critical role in helping them stay organized, connected, and confident. Whether it's using an iPad to take notes, having a water bottle to stay hydrated, or using a whiteboard planner to keep track of assignments, these tools are empowering them to succeed in a new, often unfamiliar environment.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, shared how excited she was to win a Keurig coffee machine—not just because of the prize itself, but because it symbolized her transition to adulthood. Another student, who received AirPod earphones, lit up with gratitude, saying it would help him stay concentrated on his tasks.\r\n\r\nThe enthusiasm and appreciation we've seen from our students have been incredible. These prizes weren't just giveaways—they were a message that their hard work matters, and that people like you are cheering them on.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this experience possible. Your generosity has made a lasting impression, not just on our students, but on the culture of celebration and college readiness we're building here at Clark.","fullyFundedDate":1743866182488,"projectUrl":"project/cmhs-decision-day-2025/9217200/","projectTitle":"CMHS Decision Day 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barutyan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9907322_orig.jpg?crop=1792,1792,x0,y449&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743192748520","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9907322"},{"teacherId":9972123,"projectId":9193595,"letterContent":"We are deeply grateful for your generous donation that allowed us to bring new laptop into our classroom. Your support has made a remarkable difference in our students' educational experiences, and I wanted to take a moment to share the impact your gift has had.\r\nWhile many of our supporters are familiar with technology at home, the way it transforms learning in our school setting is truly extraordinary. In general, laptops have opened up a world of interactive learning, fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking within the classroom. Students are now able to engage with educational software, conduct research, and collaborate on projects in ways that were not possible before. Platforms for coding, multimedia presentations, and virtual simulations have enriched our curriculum and made learning more dynamic and engaging.\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects for our students has been the opportunity to explore personalized learning. With access to adaptive educational programs, they can progress at their own pace, receive immediate feedback, and gain confidence in their abilities. Whether they are diving into STEM challenges, honing their writing skills, or exploring digital art, the laptops have become powerful tools for exploration and growth. With this project, more specifically, students have had an additional tool to explore, conduct research, and write a comprehensive MLA research paper. \r\nThanks to your generosity, our students are building the digital literacy skills they need to thrive in the modern world. Every day, they are learning, creating, and discovering new possibilities. Your contribution has truly made a lasting impact, and we cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1743029699198,"projectUrl":"project/alcohol-and-tobacco-research-project/9193595/","projectTitle":"Alcohol and Tobacco Research Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9972123"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25803","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1139,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":25803,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Anderson W.
