Because of your kindness, our classroom is better prepared to keep our students healthy, warm, and focused on learning throughout the colder months.\r\n\r\nWhat Your Support Provided\r\nWith your funding, our classroom received essential supplies to support daily wellness and winter comfort:\r\n\r\nHygiene & Sanitation Essentials: Disinfecting wipes, facial tissues, and paper towels to maintain a clean environment and keep everyday seasonal illnesses at bay.\r\n\r\nNutritious Classroom Snacks: Delicious, comforting snacks—including student favorites like Pirate's Booty and Goldfish—to keep energy levels high and tummies full during long school days.\r\n\r\nStorage & Organization: Clear storage bins to keep our supplies organized and easily accessible to students every day.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Impact on Our Students\r\n\r\nTaking care of basic physical well-being makes a direct difference in student engagement and attendance. Having everyday sanitation items readily available allows us to maintain a clean, safe classroom environment so students can spend less time worrying about germs or missing school due to preventable winter bugs.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, having snacks like Pirate's Booty and Goldfish on hand ensures that no student has to try to focus on a empty stomach. When students are well-fed, comfortable, and cared for, they can direct all their energy toward learning, growing, and thriving.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a tangible, daily difference in the lives of our 100 high school students. Thank you for investing in their health and well-being!","fullyFundedDate":1791120467731,"projectUrl":"project/health-comfort-and-warmth-for-winter/10710618/","projectTitle":"Health, Comfort, and Warmth for Winter","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fasani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4049665_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y181&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778255914718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jfasani"},{"teacherId":4049665,"projectId":10265424,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for your amazing support of our project, \"Engaging Readers With Project Hail Mary.\" Because of you, our classroom got 30 brand-new copies of Andy Weir's novel, and it's made a huge difference right away.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the books arrived, the excitement in the room was electric. I'm so happy to say that our students have already borrowed every single copy! Even the ones who weren't usually readers are completely hooked on the story. Seeing them so genuinely excited about diving into a book has been one of the best parts of our school year.\r\n\r\nWhat's even more amazing is how the book has sparked their curiosity outside of reading time. The students are already looking for ways to bring the scientific and physics ideas from the novel into our classroom activities. It's really helped bridge the gap between STEM and literacy in a way that regular textbooks just can't, which is transforming their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills right before our eyes.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our students has not only given them a fantastic story to read but has also ignited a deeper passion for science and learning. Thank you for believing in our classroom and for providing these bright young minds with the resources they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1778029514485,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-readers-with-project-hail-mary/10265424/","projectTitle":"Engaging Readers With Project Hail Mary","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fasani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4049665_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y181&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778255914718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jfasani"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108724","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":301,"numTeachers":2,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"150.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.4,"schoolId":108724,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Innovation High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Innovation High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/jersey-city-public-school-district/innovation-high-school/108724"}
