We use the hurdles to simulate the high hurdles experience on the track and to help with mobility drills for the athletes. The medicine balls and cones have also elevated our program. The sanitary products help to keep athletes feeling healthy and safe. We are currently preparing for upcoming track and field meets and our preparedness would not be where it is at without your help. \r\n\r\nThe participation in track and field saw a resurgence this year after failing to garner enough members to justify expenses last year. Your support not only gave the students more tangible equipment to work with, but inspired me to give more of myself to this program that I love.

The headphones have been a total game-changer for our small-group rotations, allowing students to listen to audiobooks and educational videos without distraction. The laptop has been an essential tool for my own efficiency as an educator. During our virtual learning sessions, having a fast, dependable device allows me to stay seamlessly connected with my students without the frustration of technical delays. It has made me much more effective and provide real-time feedback, ensuring that no student feels isolated while learning from home. This project hasn't just provided \"tech\"—it has strengthened the vital connection between teacher and student in a modern, equitable way.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness. You haven't just given us \"tech\"—you've given my students the quiet and the tools they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1771031161383,"projectUrl":"project/laptop-and-headphones-for-equitable-lear/10074788/","projectTitle":"Laptop and Headphones for Equitable Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pearl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9402023_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y256&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758427995673","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9402023"},{"teacherId":9402023,"projectId":9742681,"letterContent":"The arrival of our new resources has sparked a wonderful transformation in our classroom environment. We are using the printer ink to bring our Social Studies research to life, allowing students to print high-quality primary source documents and visual projects that they can proudly display. The cleaning materials have been equally vital, giving us the peace of mind to focus on learning in a space that feels fresh, organized, and safe. \r\n\r\nThe reaction from my students when the materials first arrived was one of pure excitement and genuine gratitude. Seeing the cabinets stocked with cleaning supplies also brought a subtle sense of relief; they truly appreciate knowing their learning space is cared for. They were touched to know that people they have never met cared enough to send these \"everyday essentials\" that make our school day run so much smoother.\r\n\r\nWith these new tools in hand, our next steps are focused on a major \"History in Action\" research project. Now that we have the ink to support our printing needs, students are beginning to curate their own exhibits on the walls of our classroom.

The technology and materials you funded—especially the headphones and dry erase tools—have made a real difference in how my students learn and express themselves. While many people use technology at home for work or entertainment, in our classroom, it's a bridge to learning. For example, the headphones are used daily for digital learning activities and played a major role during our ACCESS testing. Students were able to concentrate better and perform more confidently without background distractions. Outside of testing, they use the headphones during reading and math programs that offer personalized instruction, allowing each student to progress at their own pace.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting tools for my students has been the Coogam Wooden Short Vowel Letters. These make phonics come alive for my active learners. Instead of sitting still and struggling with decoding words on a worksheet, they move, match, and build words in a game-like way. The OleFun Dry Erase Pockets are another favorite—they let students practice skills again and again without wasting paper, making learning both fun and sustainable. One student, who was previously shy during lessons, now eagerly participates using these tools and even volunteers to help classmates. Your donations have done more than provide supplies—they've brought joy, confidence, and motivation to our daily learning. Thank you for believing in our students and helping create a classroom where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1731387601491,"projectUrl":"project/unleashing-creativity-enhancing-learnin/8790342/","projectTitle":"Unleashing Creativity: Enhancing Learning With Innovative Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munolaki Hidig","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9469776"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104945","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":98,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.0,"schoolId":104945,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Metro Schools Multi-Cultural College Prep on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Metro Schools Multi-Cultural College Prep","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/metro-middle-school/104945"}
