Your support has made a meaningful and immediate difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWith the new headphones, students are now able to engage more deeply in individualized tasks—such as listening, participating in language programs, and accessing online lessons—without distractions. This has not only improved focus but has also helped students work at their own pace, building confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been especially noticeable during small-group instruction and centers. While I'm working with one group, the rest of the class can stay fully engaged in learning activities because the headphones help create a calm and productive atmosphere. Several students have even shared that they feel more motivated and excited about their assignments now that they can use technology more effectively.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has enriched our classroom in ways that will continue to benefit students throughout the year. Thank you for investing in their success and for believing in the power of education. We are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759547579431,"projectUrl":"project/sound-support-promoting-inclusive-and/9780201/","projectTitle":"\"Sound Support: Promoting Inclusive and Independent Learning with Classroom Headphones\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10295259"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99697","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":921,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":67.1,"schoolId":99697,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bluffton Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bluffton Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/beaufort-county-school-district/bluffton-middle-school/99697"}
