I am writing to extend my deepest thanks for your generous donations, which have made a profound difference in the lives of my students. Thanks to your support, they now have the opportunity to build solar-powered cars, a project that has ignited a newfound enthusiasm and curiosity in their hearts.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this is the first time they have had access to such hands-on STEM opportunities. Your contributions have opened doors they never thought possible, and they now see a future for themselves in careers they once considered out of reach. The excitement and determination they bring to the classroom each day are a direct result of your belief in their potential.\r\n\r\nThis project has inspired them to dream big, to ask bold questions, and to push the boundaries of what they can achieve. Without your donations, none of this would have been possible. You've not only helped to fund a project—you've helped to shape the future of these young minds, guiding them toward paths they may not have even known were available.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for making a lasting impact on my students' lives. Your generosity has set them on a course toward a brighter, more confident future in STEM, and for that, we are all truly grateful.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\nDr. Deborah Parker\r\nEducator\r\nPEACE Center","fullyFundedDate":1733481133327,"projectUrl":"project/building-solar-powered-cars/8746459/","projectTitle":"Building Solar Powered Cars","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9734330_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756776349804","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9734330"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_124118","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":71,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":77,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"10 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":15.6,"schoolId":124118,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Peace Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Peace Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/thornton-township-high-school-district-205/peace-center/124118"}
