With your contributions, the girls have started out the season strong. They are working hard to honor the sacrifice you made for them. We are so excited! \r\n\r\nWhen the girls found out our materials had been fully funded, they were elated. We were so proud to be able to match the other teams' level of preparedness. The season will surely be off to a wonderful start! Thanks to you, the student-athletes are now prepared for the season ahead. \r\n\r\nNext steps with the materials you donated include playing the season with the new resources. The girls have played three scrimmages and will continue with their first game starting soon. The student-athletes only get to participate in using the new materials if their academic standing is excellent. Therefore, by providing funds, you have encouraged their mental and academic strength as well.","fullyFundedDate":1769193645662,"projectUrl":"project/belts-for-girls-bridging-the-gap-for-lo/10007258/","projectTitle":"Belts for Girls: Bridging the Gap for Low-Income Student Athletes","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Sarah Musicante","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8549418_orig.jpg?crop=1048,1048,x705,y836&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717612086012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8549418"},{"teacherId":9119908,"projectId":9484864,"letterContent":"With your generosity, we were able to secure a laser printer for our office area, which has provided us with quick and easy access to paperwork. This has come in helpful when working with students in a one-on-one setting, where we do not have the opportunity to run to the general printer in the school. It has made it very easy to print educational assignments to work directly with students.\r\n\r\nIn addition, your contribution has helped make it possible for us to appear more professional in our parent meetings. Prior to securing this printer, one of us would often have to excuse ourselves from the meeting to run to the general printer in the school to obtain required paperwork to finalize our meetings. This printer has made this process so much quicker, and creates a much more professional atmosphere in our meetings. \r\n\r\nYour donation to my project and other projects at inner-city schools, such as the school I work in, makes a world of difference. Our students do not have access to a lot of things that many of us take for granted, so obtaining these items changes their outlook and shows them that people genuinely care about their education.","fullyFundedDate":1760623953687,"projectUrl":"project/laser-printer-for-exceptional-education/9484864/","projectTitle":"Laser Printer for Exceptional Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9119908"},{"teacherId":9119520,"projectId":9453499,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations! The materials arrived before the school year began, so my students walked into a bright, welcoming classroom on the very first day. The new lamps make a huge difference for students seated away from the windows, especially on cloudy or overcast days. The softer lighting creates a calm, focused environment without relying on harsh overhead lights.\r\n\r\nThe cleaning supplies and hand wipes have become part of our daily routine to keep desks and Chromebooks sanitized. My students, administrators, and even custodians often comment on how neat and inviting our classroom feels. As we move into the colder months, these supplies will help us stay healthy, and the lamps will keep our room warm and bright.

They read these materials and learn about experiences and lives different than their own. It is a valuable thing for a teacher to have such useful tools as these reading materials to teach social and emotional skills. \r\nThrough your donation, my students are reading, writing, and speaking more in English using quality text materials.

Thanks to your donation, we are able to equip girls in low-income areas to succeed in a new women's sport. \r\nWhen my flag football girls first saw the new equipment, they were absolutely elated. Through the use of new equipment, the girls are able to level the playing field between their team and teams through more well-off programs and schools. The girls are able to see that they are worth quality and safe equipment. \r\nUsing these new materials, our flag football team will compete in the sport for the first year as an official state sport. This means that girls can begin the recruitment process for colleges and clubs through flag football. With this equipment and your help, the way for the girls to escape the hood and succeed in college is paved. The girls are able to train, compete, and hopefully move into more competitive flag football levels that open other opportunities for the rest of their lives. Without you, none of this would be possible. Thank you for making a lasting and impactful difference in the lives of many young female athletes.","fullyFundedDate":1746785942150,"projectUrl":"project/football-is-for-girls-paving-the-way-fo/9242681/","projectTitle":"Football is for Girls!

Your donations helped in developing strong relationships with our students that are less likely to utilize our support. Having this incentive showed to students that we care and want each student to be successful. Students came to us more freely requesting help and receiving the help which was later rewarded with a snack. This also led to students coming to us to just say hi or check in and not asking for a snack.\r\n\r\nSome of our students struggle with their next meal. Having snacks available to them provided the peace of mind that they know where to get a snack to curb the grumbling of their stomachs so that they could focus on their work. A few parents reached out thanking us for doing this for their child as well.\r\n\r\nIt is great to know that this wonderful program is available to many teachers throughout our nation. At this current time, many teachers, school districts, administrators, etc. are struggling to meet the needs of our students. Knowing that great donors as yourself are out there to help through these difficult times helps in more ways than I could ever express to you.","fullyFundedDate":1734388466899,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-growth-one-snack-at-a-time/9000231/","projectTitle":"Supporting Growth, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8638871_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x482,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746201563571","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8638871"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92629","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1485,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":59.3,"schoolId":92629,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about The Howard School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"The Howard School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/hamilton-county-schools/howard-school-of-academy-tech/92629"}
