For that, please excuse me. I just want you to know that your donations mean the world to me and my students.\r\nThe best part about writing you later in the school year is that I have the opportunity to reflect on the entire year. This has been a learning experience for my students as well as for me personally because this was my first year teaching. Additionally, this is the first year in a really long time that my school had a small group setting specialized for students with disabilities. \r\n\r\nYour donations gave them a chance to see themselves as future scientists without limitations based on their own particular disabilities. I will be grateful for your willingness to sow a seed into their future.","fullyFundedDate":1765921205498,"projectUrl":"project/stem-portable-classroom/9761966/","projectTitle":"STEM Portable Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pressley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10254332"},{"teacherId":10254332,"projectId":9705829,"letterContent":"It is amazing how much this project has done for my students. I remember coming in the first day of class and having a discussion with my class about what they would like to see to make this project come alive.\r\n\r\nOne student mentioned that he would like to have a lab coat to really \"play the part\" of an actual chemist. I let him know that this year, he is a beginning student chemist. I went on to search for ways to obtain the lab coats for my smallest class and it seemed a bit cost prohibitive to come directly from me. Donors Choose stood in the gap for my students. They happen to have neurodivergent learning styles; however, it does not stop them from learning and thriving. \r\n\r\nThe lab coats gave them sich a confidence boost. It was something so unexpected. I am so happy that this wish could become a reality. Someone actually believed in their potential. As a result, the students come in ready to go and I am forever grateful. Thank you so very much for sowing a seed into their educational lives.","fullyFundedDate":1762266289291,"projectUrl":"project/young-stem-minds/9705829/","projectTitle":"Young STEM Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pressley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10254332"},{"teacherId":6817560,"projectId":9617558,"letterContent":"When the main office called to say there was a delivery for me, I never expected it to be the curtains and rods, especially since the projected delivery date wasn't until October. When the boxes arrived in the class we were so excited I had to pause the TED Talk and immediately turned the unboxing into an impromptu ensemble project. Without prompting, students broke into small groups: some worked on assembling the rods, others unfolded and threaded the curtains. One of my quieter students came alive as he figured out and became an instant pro on how to install the spring rods on the window frames. In that moment it was confirmed that technical theatre is his entry point.\r\n\r\nThe curtains made an immediate impact. Students noticed right away how much better they could see the Smartboard/ video clips without the glare from the sun. Even something as simple as watching a TED Talk became a clearer and a more focused learning experience. The next day, students from other classes walked in and exclaimed, \"Miss, you got the curtains already?!\" One even volunteered to crochet custom curtain ties, which was an idea I never even thought of. Beyond that, the curtains will also provide safety and peace of mind during lockdown drills, which we don't want to think about but is a part of the climate we live in. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have a theatre space where they can truly shine, whether they are performing, watching, or creating.","fullyFundedDate":1757810654722,"projectUrl":"project/curtains-up/9617558/","projectTitle":"Curtains Up","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Phalo-Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6817560_orig.jpg?crop=972,972,x51,y170&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755553643172","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6817560"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_485","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":646,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.7,"schoolId":485,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bronx School for Law-Gov-Justice on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bronx School for Law-Gov-Justice","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/bronx-school-for-law-gov-justice/485"}
