We invited family, friends, and staff to see the students share original poems on the power of literature and then officially become inducted into the National English Honor Society. \r\n\r\nThe students were so so excited to see all of the different beautiful decorations and then to see them come to life on the stage, in the gathering area, and in the photo booth. It truly made them feel special. These students have worked tremendously hard throughout high school to achieve success in the literary disciplines. This was a night that celebrated all of their hard work. \r\n\r\nMany of the students were nervous to share their original poems. As the night progressed, they found strength truly supported one another in this vulnerability. Many parents and staff commented on how unique the night was. \r\n\r\nWe will save the leftover materials and the materials which can be reused and look forward to recreating this ceremony each year. The scope of this event would not have been possible without your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1791150635794,"projectUrl":"project/celebrate-student-success/10672417/","projectTitle":"Celebrate Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/690591"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43869","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":996,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":43869,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Torrington High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Torrington High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/torrington-city-school-district/torrington-high-school/43869"}
