I'm Toni Cherry, and I teach around 85 amazing students each year. Because of your kindness, each student now has access to better tools for learning, and these materials will continue to benefit students for years to come.\r\n\r\nThanks to a small adapter I purchased, your donated equipment now connects to our larger monitors—turning unused resources into powerful learning stations. My students are so excited to use the big screens with real mice and quality headphones. It's truly transformed our classroom. The room is focused, productive, and full of energy. Students are typing faster, navigating activities with ease, and taking more pride in their work.\r\n\r\nOne of my students, D.W., said, \"It feels like I'm working in a real office now!\" Another student, M.P., shared, \"I like learning more now because everything works and it's easier to follow.\" Hearing that from them warms my heart and shows just how much this donation matters.\r\n\r\nOther teachers have even noticed how engaged my students are. Your gift has done more than upgrade equipment—it's inspired pride, excitement, and confidence. We're making the most of our learning time, and it's all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nFrom all of us—thank you again for believing in public education and for giving our classroom such a meaningful boost.","fullyFundedDate":1738804135861,"projectUrl":"project/tech-apps-lab-enhancements/9060795/","projectTitle":"Tech Apps Lab Enhancements","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cherry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9679958_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736886999807","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9679958"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102521","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":72,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":102521,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about GW Carver Sixth GR STEM Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"GW Carver Sixth GR STEM Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/lancaster-independent-school-district/gwc-6th-grade-stem-learning-center/102521"}
