I have a place to store all of the brain models, the skulls of Phineas Gage, bamboo skewers (which we used as tamping irons to simulate Gage's accident), and other items that need to stay locked up, like spray paint that we occasionally use in my drama classes. \r\n\r\nThe bike locks work perfectly for a quickly and easy way to keep these things locked up. I have stoles awaiting pick up for graduation, as well as some healthy snacks I can share when kids are staying after school and are hungry. \r\n\r\nNot having built in storage was a problem for such a long time, I genuinely appreciate your help towards solving this problem.","fullyFundedDate":1754319608848,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-store-supplies/9509429/","projectTitle":"A Place to Store Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mohr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp235181_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448567702925","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsmohr"},{"teacherId":235181,"projectId":9237123,"letterContent":"On behalf of my drama students and myself, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation. The students are so excited about the new scripts. Your gift has brought so much excitement and inspiration to our drama room. The energy when I unpacked the scripts you donated was electric. \r\n\r\nOne of my students wrote, \"I cannot gratefully tell you how much joy I have from hearing the news that we have someone donating 'Dear Evan Hansen' scripts... Having the script in hand and focusing around the structure and tone in the characters' dialogue... is exciting to us students. I cannot thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.\"\r\n\r\nAnother shared how much the play Puffs means to him: \"Doing a play that focuses on the side characters that tie into the main Potter books is one I am most looking forward to. Play reading is one of my favorite topics in Drama, as I get dragged into the story and feel like I'm a character in the play.\"\r\n\r\nA newer drama student summed up what so many of them are feeling when she said, \"Your support makes class even more fun and gives us a chance to see theatre in so many different ways.\"\r\n\r\nYour donation doesn't just provide scripts — it fuels creativity, confidence, and connection. These plays give my students new voices to inhabit, new perspectives to explore, and new ways to see themselves and others.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the power of theatre education and for supporting our growing program. You've made a lasting impact on our classroom and in the hearts of young artists who are eager to bring these stories to life.","fullyFundedDate":1744215940679,"projectUrl":"project/reading-play-scripts-in-class-engages-st/9237123/","projectTitle":"Reading Play Scripts in Class Engages Student Authentically","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mohr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp235181_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448567702925","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsmohr"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105688","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":105688,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vaughn International Studies Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vaughn International Studies Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/vaughn-international-studies-academy/105688"}
