Having healthy snacks available has made such a difference for our athletes — not only in their performance but also in their morale. They no longer have to worry about going hungry during tournaments or rushing to find food between school and matches. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments came during an away match. As the team gathered around the snack box before starting a match, one of the players said, \"We're really taken care of this season, aren't we?\" That simple comment summed up exactly what your support made possible. \r\n\r\nRight now, our students have wrapped up the season and are focusing on team improvement and sportsmanship goals for next year. They're learning the importance of preparation, teamwork, and gratitude — all values strengthened by your contribution. Thank you for fueling not just their bodies, but their drive and confidence as Falcons.","fullyFundedDate":1757533014554,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-fore-falcons/9601136/","projectTitle":"Fuel Fore Falcons","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5662002_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699642537509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cecilee-ennis"},{"teacherId":5662002,"projectId":9197889,"letterContent":"Your generous gift of books, coloring pencils, and blank journals did so much more than provide supplies—it sparked creativity and gave our students a reason to believe in the power of their own words. When those blank pages first hit their desks, our high school students lit up with excitement. They weren't just completing an assignment; they were creating something meaningful that would bring joy to younger readers. Because of you, they were able to dream big and see their ideas come alive in vibrant color.\r\n\r\nThis project was truly special. Our students didn't just write books—they wrote with purpose, knowing that each story would land in the hands of an elementary student eager to read it. The pride they felt when they finished their books was unmatched. They laughed, shared ideas, and worked harder than ever because they knew their voices mattered. When they delivered those stories to the younger children and saw their smiles, it was a moment of pure connection—something they'll carry with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour kindness made this all possible. You didn't just donate supplies; you gave our students confidence, creativity, and the chance to make a difference in someone else's life. For that, we are deeply grateful. Thank you for believing in our kids and helping them experience the joy of learning, giving, and creating.","fullyFundedDate":1750773642045,"projectUrl":"project/reading-and-writing-bundle/9197889/","projectTitle":"Reading and Writing Bundle","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5662002_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699642537509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cecilee-ennis"},{"teacherId":5662002,"projectId":8925903,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our students have been transported into the enchanting world of *A Midsummer Night's Dream*. This classic play has not only introduced them to the beauty of Shakespearean language but has also deepened their critical thinking and literary analysis skills. Through engaging discussions, interactive performances, and creative writing exercises, students have explored themes of love, identity, and transformation—lessons that resonate far beyond the pages of the book. \r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is now a dynamic and collaborative experience. Students eagerly take on different roles, bringing the characters to life through dramatic readings and scene reenactments. They analyze Shakespeare's use of figurative language, decipher the complexities of iambic pentameter, and draw connections between the play's themes and their own lives. The excitement is especially evident in students who were initially hesitant about classical literature—one student who once struggled with reading comprehension is now confidently reciting lines and leading discussions on the text's meaning.","fullyFundedDate":1733233286653,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-needing-a-midsummer-nights-dr/8925903/","projectTitle":"Classroom Needing A Midsummer Night's Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ennis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5662002_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699642537509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cecilee-ennis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58581","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":506,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":58581,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Monroe County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Monroe County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/monroe-county-school-district/monroe-co-high-school/58581"}
