We've already put the markers, colored pencils, scissors, and glue to great use in projects like designing posters and creating colorful versions of the periodic table. One special moment was watching students light up as they compared their unique designs, proudly showing off how they personalized their work while still mastering the science content.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have made our lessons more hands-on and engaging, helping students connect creativity with learning. Our next step is to continue using the materials for interactive projects that reinforce key concepts in chemistry—like making models and group presentations that allow students to showcase their understanding in creative ways.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought more color and energy into our classroom, and my students and I are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1750773729561,"projectUrl":"project/msas-classroom-essentials/9371849/","projectTitle":"Ms.A’s Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10041151"},{"teacherId":9853502,"projectId":8985101,"letterContent":"On behalf of our golf athletes, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of the Golf Hitting Mat - Swing Path, Callaway Golf Supersoft Golf Balls, Nitro High-Durability Golf Balls, Golf Tee Tees, Plastic Golf Balls, and hand warmers. When the equipment arrived, our athletes were excited and eager to put these new items to use. Your generosity has provided them with essential tools to refine their skills and enhance their practice sessions, especially as they continue working toward excellence in the sport.\r\n\r\nThese items will make a significant impact on their training. The hitting mat allows them to focus on swing path and consistency, while the variety of golf balls ensures they have the right equipment for different practice scenarios. The tees and plastic golf balls offer flexibility for drills, and the hand warmers will be handy during colder practice days, ensuring they can stay comfortable and focused. Your support has given them the resources needed to elevate their game and continue striving for success on and off the course.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and support of our golf athletes. Your generosity provides them with valuable equipment and reinforces the importance of dedication and hard work. Knowing that others believe in their potential motivates them even more. We truly appreciate your investment in their growth and development and look forward to sharing their progress with you in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1734391117297,"projectUrl":"project/golf-balls-and-tees/8985101/","projectTitle":"Golf Balls and Tees","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Alicia Nava","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9853502"},{"teacherId":7643994,"projectId":8832383,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating the items to my classroom. The items were originally placed in my classroom to calm students with emotional disabilities. They are being used for that and for my 12th-grade students. The students come inside the classroom and sit in the calming corner to relax and decompress from the journey of life. They talk to me and express their concerns about everyday life. Others need a brief break from the hectic weekend. Either way, the calming chairs have played a pivotal role in their socialization, behaviors, and the stressful of the school day,\r\n\r\nThey were so excited to see the added tools to the classroom. They enjoyed bringing the items from the front of the office to our classroom. The boxes were large but lightweight and four students did a test run once they were extracted from the cardboard boxes. The students really enjoy a place to calm down when they are stressed.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students in the classroom lesson is to have them do a visual that can be used when they are in the calming corner. They have to draw the cocoa cup and visualize the texture, taste, and color of the drink. This can be useful as a calming technique. It takes a few minutes to draw and the students can carry this index-size card with them to other classes for calming purposes. Thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1727648587728,"projectUrl":"project/calming-strategies-for-high-achievement/8832383/","projectTitle":"Calming Strategies for High Achievement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marbley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7643994_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660092088719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7643994"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96186","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2328,"numTeachers":139,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":61.1,"schoolId":96186,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Goose Creek Memorial High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Goose Creek Memorial High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/goose-creek-consolidated-independent-school-district/goose-creek-memorial-high-school/96186"}
