Your contribution has directly supported my 11th-grade ELA Regents and AP Language and Composition students—students who work incredibly hard and truly benefit from having the tools and environment they need to thrive.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards, markers, folders, notebooks, and highlighters have already transformed the way my students engage with their learning. During various review games, my juniors students participate by eagerly holding up their whiteboards to share answers. Many of them have told me how much they love being able to doodle while we review—it helps them focus, stay calm, and enjoy the learning process. These small moments of joy have made our classroom feel more connected and energized.\r\n\r\nYour donations of menstrual products, travel deodorants, and personal-care items have also made a tremendous impact. My students—many of whom juggle school, work, and family responsibilities—no longer need to worry about the \"little things\" that can cause unnecessary stress. The flexible seating options, like the saucer chairs and floor pillows, have helped transform our classroom into a comfortable, student-centered space where learning feels inviting rather than overwhelming.\r\n\r\nThanks to the Swiffer, vacuum, paper towels, and disinfecting wipes, we are able to maintain a clean and healthy learning environment every day. This is extremely important in a classroom that is always busy and full of activity. As we enter the cold and flu season, I feel an immense amount of relief knowing that my students and I will learn in a (mostly) germ-free environment.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought positivity, comfort, and a renewed sense of enthusiasm to our classroom. My students and I are deeply grateful for your kindness and the meaningful impact you've had on their academic and personal well-being. Thank you for believing in them, supporting their goals, and helping create a space where they can truly succeed. On behalf of my students, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.

These supplies may seem simple, but they play a powerful role in creating a positive and engaging learning environment for my students.\r\n\r\nThe classroom snacks, like Oreos and chocolate chip cookies, will be wonderful motivators during lessons where participation and discussion are especially important. They also make great rewards for games and activities, helping to keep students excited and engaged in learning.\r\n\r\nThe Expo markers bring color and energy to our whiteboard, allowing me to clearly display daily goals and lesson outlines in a way that draws students' attention. The cardstock, both white and colored, helps my teaching materials last longer, while the bright colors make important information stand out, supporting student understanding.\r\n\r\nIn Health class, participation and open discussion are key. We explore mental and emotional health topics that connect to students' past experiences, their present lives, and their future decisions. Your support ensures that my students feel encouraged, engaged, and supported as they learn skills that will benefit them well beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my 10th grade students and myself, thank you for investing in their growth.

They eagerly look forward to entering the classroom each day, excited about the comfort and flexibility these chairs offer. It has truly transformed their learning environment, allowing for more engaged and relaxed discussions.\r\n\r\nMoreover, your donation of motivational stickers has been a wonderful addition to our classroom incentives. My students absolutely love receiving these stickers as rewards for their efforts and achievements. The stickers not only serve as a great alternative to candy but also inspire them to strive for excellence in their studies and behavior. Many of them have started collecting and proudly displaying these stickers on their folders and water bottles, which has fostered a sense of pride and motivation among them.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and support.

The standing desk on wheels is perfect for my students who need to wander. The stools have been a great way to create small groups, and are helpful to have for students when we do writing conferences. The games have been well-used- board games are not only a learning tool but teach my students to get off their phones and speak to each other. \r\n\r\nThank you for your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1731080161381,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-for-ms-ms-classroom/8804436/","projectTitle":"Mental Health for Ms. M’s Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mroz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9766279"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21888","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1244,"numTeachers":105,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":21888,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clarence Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clarence Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/clarence-central-school-district/clarence-senior-high-school/21888"}
