These resources have already made a meaningful difference in our day-to-day learning. I now keep the calculators and chargers available for students to borrow whenever they need them, which has been incredibly helpful in ensuring that everyone can stay engaged and participate fully in lessons. Whether we're solving equations or working through coding exercises, students are able to continue learning without interruption—something that wasn't always possible before.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were genuinely excited and appreciative. Many of them immediately expressed gratitude, recognizing how these supplies would make their work easier and more accessible. It was a great moment to see them feel supported and equipped to succeed. Even small things—like having a charger when their device is about to die—have reduced stress and helped them stay focused on learning.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students are continuing to build on their skills through current projects in math problem-solving and computer science applications. With reliable access to calculators and charged devices, they are better prepared to dive deeper into lessons, collaborate with peers, and complete assignments with confidence. Your support has helped create a more equitable and productive classroom environment, and we are truly grateful for your investment in our learning.","fullyFundedDate":1760659362638,"projectUrl":"project/an-organized-classroom-math-and-computer/9518475/","projectTitle":"An Organized Classroom Math and Computer Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Y","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1035670"},{"teacherId":3189218,"projectId":8312813,"letterContent":"The goal of this project is to help students reconnect—with each other and with the outdoors—through physical activity and play. After years of isolation and increased screen time due to the pandemic, many of our students have become more introverted and overly reliant on their phones for entertainment and social interaction.\r\n\r\nWith your support, we will provide equipment that encourages students to get up, move, laugh, and engage with their peers in meaningful ways. These materials will be used during lunch breaks, at after-school Earth Club meetings, and at student-led events, offering fun and inclusive opportunities for all students to participate.\r\n\r\nEarth Club is passionate about creating a healthier, more connected school community. Your donation helps us promote wellness, reduce screen time, and build stronger social bonds—one game, one smile, and one moment of play at a time.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us bring joy, movement, and human connection back into our students' daily lives.","fullyFundedDate":1717678495168,"projectUrl":"project/get-out-and-play/8312813/","projectTitle":"Get Out and Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clements","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3189218_orig.jpg?crop=1932,1932,x0,y231&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642718494332","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3189218"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4642","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1287,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":25,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":81.3,"schoolId":4642,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South San Francisco High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South San Francisco High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/south-san-francisco-unified-school-district/south-san-francisco-high-school/4642"}
