Your support is directly helping our students engage in their \"Así Soy Yo\" identity project, where they explore language, culture, and personal identity in meaningful and creative ways.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, students reflect on who they are, where they come from, and how their experiences shape their voices. Reading The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo allows many students to see their own linguistic and cultural experiences. Your contribution has empowered my students. The materials and resources impacted our community classroom in many different ways: emotional, financial and inclusive because we were able to produce fun, creative and meaningful activities. More importantly, a heart built with gratitude thanks to you. Having a color printer in the classroom improved students' visual storytelling and enhanced technology to express themselves with confidence and pride. Many students completed their projects because they were motivated by the new supplies.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your investment in our students' growth and learning. Your generosity is making a lasting impact in literacy and creativity because of the learning opportunities you provided.","fullyFundedDate":1758899274088,"projectUrl":"project/kick-off-september-intro-identity/9462888/","projectTitle":"Kick Off September Intro-identity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amalfi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079347_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y633&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752533916887","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10079347"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99087","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":360,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.1,"schoolId":99087,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about School for Classics High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"School for Classics High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/the-school-for-classics/99087"}
