Because of your donations, nearly 20 at-risk students are attending tutoring this year with the supplies they need to feel prepared and motivated to learn. Students received calendars for the 2025–2026 school year, dry erase boards, pencils, and pens, and they were absolutely thrilled. Many opened their packages immediately and began using their whiteboards during tutoring sessions, which brought an exciting and energizing start to the program.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped us build a strong and meaningful tutoring program that truly reaches students who need academic help the most. Students are being supported by both teachers and their peers in subjects they are struggling with, and the impact is already clear. Students report completing and submitting assignments on time, and many have even caught up on make-up work. In addition to group tutoring, I have also been able to provide one-on-one support to students in my classroom, allowing us to meet individual needs more closely.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, my colleagues and I will continue to ensure that students' time in after-school tutoring is purposeful and effective. We are committed to helping students strengthen the foundational academic skills they need to be successful in their core classes. None of this would be possible without your generosity. Thank you for investing in our students, believing in their potential, and helping us expand a program that is already making a meaningful difference.","fullyFundedDate":1759429725848,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-students-after-school-succes/9674445/","projectTitle":"Supporting Students' After School Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kahlon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10237506"},{"teacherId":9176463,"projectId":8647829,"letterContent":"My students and I have been enjoying and appreciating your donations.

The laptop riser has provided better Zoom experience for students who join my class virtually due to absences.

They see how a few improvements can make a big impact on the overall learning experience and they respect the new procedures.\r\n\r\nI will continue to utilize these donated supplies to maximize their usage for many years to come.

The chairs have been so well received (and used). Many students who come to the therapist offices are deregulated and these chairs are cozy, and comfortable. Students love that they are rocking chairs. Not only do the chairs look great but they are definitely helping our students feel more comfortable. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting our students and school!","fullyFundedDate":1732049925536,"projectUrl":"project/wellness-place-for-teens/8665118/","projectTitle":"Wellness Place for Teens","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chandley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/chandley"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30466","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1798,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":38,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":86.4,"schoolId":30466,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/torrance-unified-school-district/west-high-school/30466"}
