These simple yet essential resources have already made a noticeable impact in our classroom. The pencils have ensured that every student is equipped to participate in daily lessons without the worry of running out of supplies, allowing us to focus on learning instead of interruptions. The Clorox wipes have helped maintain a clean and healthy environment, giving students and me peace of mind, especially during cold and flu season.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come from families where purchasing school supplies can be a challenge. Having access to these pencils has eliminated the stress of not being prepared for class and has allowed students to focus fully on their education. The Clorox wipes have become a key part of our daily routine, helping us maintain a clean and organized classroom environment that fosters better learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we're now able to focus on enriching activities like writing exercises and collaborative projects without worrying about running out of materials or classroom cleanliness. Our next steps include an upcoming project where students will draft and revise essays, and having reliable supplies ensures everyone can fully participate.\r\n\r\nThank you again for being such an important part of our classroom success.","fullyFundedDate":1729372490911,"projectUrl":"project/project-sturges/8885822/","projectTitle":"Project Sturges","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sturges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9130855_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715181274074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9130855"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126181","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2057,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":126181,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Matilda Torres High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Matilda Torres High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/madera-unified-school-district/matilda-torres-high-school/126181"}
