My 9th-grade students and I are so grateful for the new whiteboard, power strips, and Chromebook chargers. The moment the box arrived, the students were buzzing with excitement, eagerly unpacking each item. Their first reaction to the abundance of chargers was a collective sigh of relief, as it meant an end to the daily \"race to the outlet.\" The new supplies have already transformed our classroom into a more dynamic and collaborative learning environment, and it is a wonderful feeling to know we have the tools we need for our projects.\r\n\r\nThe new equipment has made our daily classroom activities so much more fluid and engaging.With the power strips distributed throughout the room, students can now work on small-group assignments without worrying about their Chromebooks losing power. This has encouraged incredible teamwork and allowed students to focus on their work rather than on logistics.\r\n\r\nHaving a classroom where students can easily charge their devices and work together seamlessly has been a game-changer. The next step for our students is to continue building on this improved workflow as we tackle more ambitious, technology-driven projects. Your contribution has truly given my students the tools they need to succeed and has shown them the power of community support.","fullyFundedDate":1753973608277,"projectUrl":"project/basic-stem-supplies/9507595/","projectTitle":"Basic STEM Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kissel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6611138_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753793464498","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6611138"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58267","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":408,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.9,"schoolId":58267,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Western High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Western High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/jefferson-county-public-schools/western-magnet-high-school/58267"}
