Thanks to the generous donors, I'm getting closer to accomplishing that goal. \r\n\r\nThe students love to choose a new bookmark when they come in with their classes to check out books. Uno and Connect 4 have been very popular games for students to play at lunch, and it's so nice seeing them interact with each other instead of staring at their phones. The origami station is just getting started, so only a couple of students have tried that out so far. Students vote for the most popular \"this or that\" when they check out a book using the poker chips. But the biggest hit so far is Gumby. I hide Gumby on the bookshelves, and students have to find him in order to win a snack. Students love it, and they ask me all the time if someone has found Gumby.\r\n\r\nI can't thank the donors enough for their help in upgrading the experience for the teenagers in my high school library.","fullyFundedDate":1746606018741,"projectUrl":"project/fun-in-the-library/9195663/","projectTitle":"Fun in the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2196293_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673298719603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-crawford-rosemont"},{"teacherId":2196293,"projectId":9337536,"letterContent":"I was so excited to receive this class set of \"Long Way Down\" by Jason Reynolds. Many of our novels are older and less appealing to teenagers, and this book encourages students to engage in conversations about tough topics.\r\n\r\nThe 10th grade classes at my high school read this book last year and are planning to read it again this winter. We only had 1 class set, and teachers were having to share the 1 set and take turns reading it. Several copies also got lost. With this new set from Donors Choose, 2 teachers at a time can now borrow a class set, allowing for more classes to be able to read this book. \r\n\r\nWith budget cuts and no funds to spend on new class sets of novels, I am so grateful for the donors who helped to fund our project. I can't thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1754321134003,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-all-high-school-readers/9337536/","projectTitle":"Engaging All High School Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2196293_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673298719603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-crawford-rosemont"},{"teacherId":9074496,"projectId":9196096,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your heartfelt donation. Having a classroom set of books is essential and the kids really like the fantasy world that is the hobbit. They see Bilbo Baggins grow and change, finding courage when things seem impossible. You helped do this! I always pair this with the first film adaptation of the Hobbit too and it is cool to see them compare and contrast.\r\nThe students are all engaged and this could not be possible without the donation of books through this project. They find the adventure, dragons, and creatures along the way fun and it helps learning not feel forced but instead it is an adventure too!","fullyFundedDate":1744061943761,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-self-development-and-courage-th/9196096/","projectTitle":"Teaching Self-Development and Courage Through the Hobbit!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9074496_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708558849451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/englishramirez"},{"teacherId":389050,"projectId":8922424,"letterContent":"We want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to our DonorsChoose project.

It's incredible to see how a simple snack can transform their participation in class—they're more engaged, attentive, and eager to contribute to discussions and activities.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtfulness has made a meaningful difference, reminding us all of the power of community and care.

Having started the program up again this year after four years of dormancy has had its challenges, however the materials and supplies you have provided have enabled me to quickly jump into beginning design projects and theatre activities that would have been delayed months as we waited for budgets to be approved, funds to be raised, and supplies to be ordered. Your gifts have helped me educate my beginning theatre students beyond the basic acting skills. We have been able to explore the key jobs of the profession, such as directing, stage design, costume design, dramaturgy, and playwriting. This enables me to reach beyond my extroverted students and be able to show my more introverted students that they also can find a home in the art.\r\n\r\nStudents can relax, knowing all their curiosities can be explored because we have access to the supplies needed to do any project they can imagine. From our Fractured Fairytale Project, our Radio Plays, to our Recycled Costume fashion show, students are enjoying the projects and beginning to find a love of theatre.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1725643612972,"projectUrl":"project/rhs-theatre-program/8533561/","projectTitle":"RHS Theatre Program","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schallig","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5436655_orig.jpg?crop=768,768,x0,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722438792067","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5436655"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74109","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1515,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":74109,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rosemont High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rosemont High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sacramento-city-unified-school-district/rosemont-high-school/74109"}
