Your generosity has helped us create a more organized, comfortable, and welcoming learning environment for our seventh-grade students. Our new bench provides a convenient place to store classroom library books, making it easier for students to browse, choose books, and enjoy reading. The new headphones allow students to focus during independent work, online assignments, and digital learning activities without distractions. We have also used the Better Than Paper wallpaper to cover our accordion wall, transforming a plain, uninviting space into a classroom that feels brighter, more cohesive, and more like home. My students are excited to see these improvements, and I love knowing that our classroom is becoming a space where they feel comfortable learning and growing.\r\n\r\nThese resources may serve different purposes, but together they make a big difference in our everyday classroom experience. Students can more easily access books, stay focused on their assignments, and learn in an environment that feels cared for and welcoming. As a teacher, I believe that the classroom environment matters, and these additions help show students that their learning, comfort, and success are important. Your support has helped me create a space where students can feel proud to learn, explore new ideas, and build confidence in themselves.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using these resources every day as students read, complete digital learning activities, collaborate with classmates, and explore American history. The book storage bench will encourage students to discover new books, the headphones will support focused and independent learning, and our refreshed classroom space will provide a more inviting setting for all of our learning experiences. Thank you for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a place where they feel welcome, supported, and ready to learn. Your kindness is making a difference in ways that will benefit our students throughout the school year!","fullyFundedDate":1789355410575,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-renovation/10291279/","projectTitle":"Classroom Renovation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10511880_orig.png?crop=126,126,x0,y8&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778790945930","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10511880"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28282","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":684,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.3,"schoolId":28282,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McHenry Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McHenry Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/mchenry-cmty-cons-sch-dist-15/mchenry-middle-school/28282"}
