Because of your support, my students now have the essential supplies they need to explore, create, and succeed every single day.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of these materials was a highlight of our semester. When the boxes first arrived, the room was buzzing with excitement. My students couldn't wait to see what was inside, and as we unpacked the packages that were delivered to us. Seeing their faces light up with a sense of ownership and possibility was a moment I won't soon forget.\r\n\r\nWe have already begun putting these resources to good use. Specifically, we used the small timers for individualized assignments and the big classroom timer every day as we are completing our independent practice assignments in class. \r\n\r\nYour contribution has provided a foundation for the rest of our school year for my classroom. You haven't just provided \"stuff\"; you've provided the opportunity for my students to see themselves as capable learners who have the support of their community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and for investing in the future of these bright young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1776144364045,"projectUrl":"project/student-supplies/9967299/","projectTitle":"Student Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tsang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10115330_orig.jpg?crop=511,511,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754714200679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizabeth-tsang"},{"teacherId":10115330,"projectId":9962804,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of new PE equipment for our students. Your support has transformed the energy and engagement in our physical education classes. Students are actively using the new equipment during skill-building stations, team challenges, and cooperative games. One memorable moment was during our fitness circuit rotation—students were excited to try each new station, encouraging one another and fully participating. When they first saw the equipment, there were cheers and wide smiles across the gym. Many immediately asked, \"Can we use this today?\" Their enthusiasm was a powerful reminder of how meaningful these resources are.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students now have more opportunities to build teamwork, coordination, and confidence while staying active. As we move into our next unit, students will be using the equipment for small-group strategy games and goal-setting activities focused on personal fitness growth. Your generosity has given them the tools to develop healthy habits and positive collaboration skills that extend beyond the gym. Thank you for investing in their physical health, joy, and success.","fullyFundedDate":1765985202345,"projectUrl":"project/pe-equipment/9962804/","projectTitle":"PE Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tsang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10115330_orig.jpg?crop=511,511,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754714200679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizabeth-tsang"},{"teacherId":10115330,"projectId":9967291,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks for our classroom. Your support has made a meaningful difference in our daily routine. We use the snacks to help students stay focused and energized, especially during longer lessons and independent work time. One special moment that stood out was during a recent reading and discussion activity—students were able to fully engage in thoughtful conversation without the distraction of hunger. When they first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement and gratitude. It meant so much to them to know that someone cared about their well-being and success.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has helped create a classroom environment where students can concentrate, participate confidently, and feel supported. As we continue working on our current unit, students will be using their energy and focus to dive deeper into text analysis and collaborative discussions. Because of you, they are better prepared to learn and grow each day. Thank you for giving our class not just snacks, but encouragement and care.","fullyFundedDate":1769198454485,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-re-energized/9967291/","projectTitle":"Classroom Re-Energized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tsang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10115330_orig.jpg?crop=511,511,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754714200679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/elizabeth-tsang"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5910","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":266,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.3,"schoolId":5910,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-francisco-unified-school-district/kipp-san-francisco-bay-academy/5910"}
