Your contributions have made an immediate and meaningful impact in my classroom.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has truly transformed the way I teach. I use it to keep solution code and lesson materials at my fingertips while I walk around the room helping students individually. It's made instruction smoother, faster, and more engaging for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe screen-cleaning supplies have also been a huge help—my students' laptops are used daily, and having clean screens makes it so much easier for them to see their work clearly. The odor removers and air sprays have helped keep our classroom fresh and welcoming, which makes a big difference for high-school boys who spend long days in their learning spaces.\r\n\r\nAnd the speaker has been a lifesaver! Our projector volume is so low that videos were hard to hear, but now students can clearly follow along with tutorials, examples, and teaching videos.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has improved our daily learning environment in ways big and small. My students and I are truly grateful for your support. Thank you for believing in our classroom and investing in their future in computer science.","fullyFundedDate":1763566875209,"projectUrl":"project/computer-science-classroom/9527429/","projectTitle":"Computer Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Duplantis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10107987"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102061","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":302,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.8,"schoolId":102061,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mickey Leland College Preparatory for Men on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mickey Leland College Preparatory for Men","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/young-men-s-college-preparatory-academy/102061"}
