Your donations not only brightened the start of the school year but also allowed me to extend many of the materials to students across four additional courses, ranging from 10th to 12th grade.\r\n\r\nYour kindness made a real, lasting impact on both the academic and emotional well-being of our students. Below are a few highlights that demonstrate how your support has transformed our classroom:\r\n\r\nNotebooks: Helped my Statistics and Advanced Design students capture detailed notes, organize ideas, and strengthen memory retention and recall — vital skills for success in both creative and analytical work.\r\n\r\n\"The Ultimate Craft Box\": Empowered my 9th graders to process thoughts and solve problems through creativity. These hands-on projects encouraged planning, experimentation, and reflection, helping students learn to visualize ideas, adapt to challenges, and develop innovative solutions through trial and error.\r\n\r\nJournals: Provided space for students to engage in daily Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) reflections. Writing regularly supported emotional growth, self-awareness, and the ability to express thoughts clearly and confidently.\r\n\r\nPositive Stickers: A small but meaningful touch — students chose stickers that resonated with them and proudly placed them on their phones, notebooks, and laptops as daily reminders of encouragement and positivity.\r\n\r\nKleenex and Clorox Wipes: Became essential classroom tools for maintaining a clean, healthy environment, especially when students are under the weather or during flu season.\r\n\r\nSnack Boxes: Proved invaluable for students who arrive late or without breakfast, and especially for those experiencing food insecurity. These snacks provided nourishment, comfort, and the energy needed to stay focused and engaged throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created an environment where students feel cared for, inspired, and ready to learn. You've helped nurture creativity, confidence, and community within our classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart—THANK YOU for believing in our students!","fullyFundedDate":1756163384491,"projectUrl":"project/first-day-fresh-supplies-for-freshman/9541910/","projectTitle":"First Day: Fresh Supplies for Freshman","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sonson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9435205"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18651","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":280,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.4,"schoolId":18651,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about LPS Oakland R&D Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"LPS Oakland R&D Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oakland-unified-school-district/leadership-public-charter-school-college-park/18651"}
