They proved to be exceptional young people—curious, empathetic, and driven—who came to school each day determined to succeed despite the challenges of pandemic learning, community violence, and personal hardships.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we received the laptops that made a tremendous difference in our classroom. My 12th grade history students were able to fully engage in their Senior Capstone projects, where they researched and wrote 1,600–1,800 word papers on social justice topics of their choice. With the extra laptops, every student was able to participate deeply in the research and revision process, even when they did not have a computer of their own to bring to class.\r\n\r\nWhen it came time to present in front of a panel of judges, my seniors stood proud—confident in their ideas and their hard work. Your gift made it possible for them to focus on their voices and their growth, rather than worrying about whether they had the tools they needed.","fullyFundedDate":1651846089004,"projectUrl":"project/chromebooks-for-21st-century-learning/6170183/","projectTitle":"Chromebooks for 21st Century Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bunis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1016693_orig.jpg?crop=2109,2109,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643730138206","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1016693"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34160","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":36.1,"schoolId":34160,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Walter L Cohen High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Walter L Cohen High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/walter-l-cohen-senior-high-school/34160"}
