Because of your kindness, our classroom now has resources that make learning more engaging, hands-on, and meaningful. Seeing my students' faces light up when they realized these materials were for *them* was such a special moment. They were excited to explore, ask questions, and immediately began thinking of ways to use everything in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have already become an important part of our daily learning. They allow my students to collaborate, think critically, and engage with science concepts in ways that go beyond a textbook. Whether they're working together to investigate a new concept, completing hands-on activities, or participating in interactive lessons, these materials have helped create an environment where curiosity and confidence continue to grow. It's been incredible to watch students who are typically hesitant become more willing to participate because they have engaging tools that support their learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity extends far beyond the items you provided—it has created opportunities for discovery, creativity, and academic growth that will impact my students all year long. We are excited to continue using these resources in future lessons and projects as we explore new scientific concepts and build the skills they'll carry with them long after they leave my classroom. Thank you for investing in my students and reminding them that there are people who believe in their success. Your support has truly made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1569499133266,"projectUrl":"project/generating-girl-bosses/4398900/","projectTitle":"Generating Girl Bosses!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. St. Clair","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4712981_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504214066714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4712981"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103552","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":669,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":69,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"6 - 11","studentTeacherRatio":"8.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":45.9,"schoolId":103552,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Young Women Steam Academy - Balch Springs on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Young Women Steam Academy - Balch Springs","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/balch-springs-middle-school/103552"}
