The snacks give students something to grab when they are hungry and need a little extra energy to get through the school day. The carpet provides a comfortable space for students to gather, collaborate, or take a break from their desks, while the new chair makes our classroom more comfortable and inviting. These items may seem simple, but they help us create a space where students feel cared for and ready to learn. The students were excited to see the new additions to our classroom! They were especially happy to have snacks available and loved having a more comfortable, inviting space to relax and work together. As a teacher, it means so much to be able to provide little comforts that help students feel at home in the classroom. Sometimes, it is the small things that make the biggest difference in a student's day. We will continue using these resources throughout the school year to make our classroom a positive, supportive place for learning. Whether students are working on writing assignments, participating in discussions, collaborating with classmates, or simply needing a snack to get through the afternoon, these materials help us meet their needs. My goal is for every student who walks into my classroom to feel welcome, valued, and ready to learn. Thank you to our generous donors for helping make our classroom a more comfortable and caring environment for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1791590331771,"projectUrl":"project/warm-space-and-snacks/10725861/","projectTitle":"Warm Space and Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3920442_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784675258682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3920442"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88767","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1041,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":88767,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thomas Jefferson High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thomas Jefferson High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/west-jefferson-hills-school-district/thomas-jefferson-high-school/88767"}
