It's a challenging book, which we would have struggled to read and analyze in our 47 minutes per day of class time had we been reliant on the 30 copies we have here at school. Because of your gift, my students will be able to read the chapters at home, so we can really dive deep with writing, discussion, and presentations during our class meetings. Your gift is going to enhance our experience of \"The Great Gatsby\" exponentially. \r\n\r\nStudents are already starting to ask me, \"When are we reading \"The Great Gatsby\"? One even connected something he learned in science class (about chlorophyll) with the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. I asked him, \"Did you read it already?\" He hadn't, but he saw something on TikTok that whetted his appetite. We will be beginning the book right after Christmas vacation. I know it's going to be a great experience. And again, I -- we -- can't thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1793127222174,"projectUrl":"project/please-green-light-my-great-gatsby-p/10513416/","projectTitle":"Please \"Green Light\" my \"Great Gatsby\" Project!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pagano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1788554_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722616977820","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1788554"},{"teacherId":9825505,"projectId":10187994,"letterContent":"My students are using the new resources to help make our classroom feel more welcoming, comfortable, and like a space they can truly call their own. We've been using the decorations to brighten up the room and create displays that showcase student work and celebrate their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were excited to see all the ways we could transform our classroom. They especially enjoyed having a say in where things should go and how we could make the space feel more personal and inviting.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue decorating and creating student-centered displays throughout the year. We'll be adding student work, motivational messages, and projects to our classroom walls so students can see their progress and feel proud of what they accomplish.

Because of your donation, our students were able to create heartfelt, handmade cards and send them to members of the military serving overseas this past holiday season. This project gave our students a meaningful opportunity to express gratitude and kindness to those who are spending the holidays far from home in service to our country.\r\n\r\nYour contribution did more than cover supplies — it helped foster empathy, creativity, and civic responsibility in our students. They took great pride in knowing their words and artwork would bring encouragement and holiday cheer to service members abroad. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in making this experience possible and for helping us remind our troops that they are remembered and appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1763652897982,"projectUrl":"project/the-art-of-kindness-student-led-art-to/9884962/","projectTitle":"The Art of Kindness: Student-Led Art to Uplift Our Community","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10346460_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783618731983","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10346460"},{"teacherId":1788554,"projectId":9632172,"letterContent":"It's hard to overstate the impact this gift has made on this classroom -- this year and for years to come.\r\n\r\nI teach a course called \"Research and Writing\" to underserved high school students. The course is college-linked, and the overseeing college requires that all documents are printed out. Before receiving this wonderful laser printer, deadlines were hideously stressful. Not only was the classwork copious and challenging, but there was the added burden of having to find a printer -- somewhere in the neighborhood, somewhere in the school -- to print it out and then coming up with the money [or the permission] to do so. Now, with the printer right here in the classroom, students can put their full focus into what matters: The school-work that will earn them credits as they get a head-start on their college journey. \r\n\r\nWe are just beyond grateful. I can't wait to share pictures of all the happy, relaxed faces using our printer!!!","fullyFundedDate":1763058801835,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-printer/9632172/","projectTitle":"Classroom Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pagano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1788554_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722616977820","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1788554"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23699","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":579,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":60,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":23699,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Barack Obama School for Social Justice on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Barack Obama School for Social Justice","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/palisade-preparatory-school/23699"}
