Your gift makes it possible for every student in our classroom to access high‑quality, evidence‑based materials that teach personal growth, self‑management, and goal‑setting in a clear, engaging way.\r\n\r\nMany of our learners have learning disabilities, autism, or ADHD and thrive when instruction is explicit, hands‑on, and scaffolded. The book's straightforward language, relatable examples, and interactive workbook activities are especially well suited to their needs. Because of your kindness, these resources will be integrated into our curriculum so students can practice essential social‑emotional and executive functioning skills in a structured setting.\r\n\r\nYour support will help students build confidence, responsibility, and problem‑solving strategies that carry beyond the classroom. Importantly, your donation ensures equal access! Students will receive the same materials regardless of family income, removing a barrier to learning and growth.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' futures and for helping us create a classroom where every young person has the tools to become more independent and successful. We look forward to sharing updates on the students' progress and the positive impact your generosity will have throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1762184359056,"projectUrl":"project/building-life-skills-with-the-habits-of/9797142/","projectTitle":"Building Life Skills with The Habits of Highly Effective Teens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hancock-Galesic","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6883326_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y277&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626094179886","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6883326"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1879","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":119,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"4.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.8,"schoolId":1879,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mary E Phillips High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mary E Phillips High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/phillips-high-school/1879"}
