You've given us more than just books—you've given us new worlds to explore, new voices to hear, and new reasons to enjoy reading.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things about your donation is how it's helped me offer students more choice in what they read. That may sound simple, but it makes a huge difference. When teenagers feel like their preferences matter, they're more open to picking up a book—and actually enjoying it. I've already seen students who usually avoid reading completely light up when they find a book that speaks to them.\r\nYour support is helping create a space where reading isn't just something we have to do, but something many students are starting to want to do. That shift is powerful, especially for those who've never thought of themselves as \"readers.\"\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of our classroom. Your kindness is helping shape more curious, confident, and thoughtful young people—and we're so grateful.\r\nWarmly,\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlison Lewis\r\nEnglish 2 Teacher\r\nChaparral High School","fullyFundedDate":1727462750397,"projectUrl":"project/independent-reading/8573862/","projectTitle":"Independent Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9632241"},{"teacherId":9236797,"projectId":8570398,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation of graphing calculators, graph paper, pencils, and clip boards. This has allowed our students to work outside the classroom and develop real-life experiments using mathematics. Students are able to design and collect data then use the graphing calculator to analyze their findings and come up with an equation of best fit. This allows students to see math in real life, as well as the value of why we are learning the concepts we are. It is also a huge impact when every student can participate in the project instead of sharing and losing student engagement.","fullyFundedDate":1727462946561,"projectUrl":"project/students-graphing/8570398/","projectTitle":"Students Graphing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baltzer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9236797"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66243","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2007,"numTeachers":112,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.9,"schoolId":66243,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chaparral High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chaparral High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/douglas-county-school-district-re-1/chaparral-high-school/66243"}
