Thanks to your support, we've not only made a significant impact on the second semester but are also setting our students up for long-term success as we close out the school year.\r\n\r\nYour donation enabled us to acquire much-needed materials that have already made a remarkable difference in our classroom. The digital clocks, for example, have helped students stay focused and manage their time more effectively during lessons and activities. The food incentives have been a huge motivator, encouraging positive behavior and fostering a greater sense of achievement in our classroom community. The erasers and pencils have been essential in keeping students prepared and able to work through challenges without interruptions.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the new iPad cases have protected our technology and allowed students to use their devices with confidence, enhancing their learning experience through digital platforms. The Kleenex and hand sanitizer have ensured that our classroom remains healthy and comfortable, allowing students to stay focused and engaged without the distractions of illness. Finally, the brain puzzles have added an element of fun while sharpening critical thinking skills, helping students to think creatively and problem-solve in exciting new ways.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these resources goes far beyond this semester. By strengthening our foundation now, we are preparing our students for future academic success. These tools and incentives are laying the groundwork for the skills they need to succeed in the next grade level, helping them develop time management, problem-solving, and collaboration skills that will serve them well in the years to come.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the materials we've acquired will continue to serve as an investment in our classroom for the rest of the school year and beyond. Your contribution has created a learning environment where students are engaged, motivated, and excited about their education. As we finish this school year, they are not only prepared to excel but have developed habits and skills that will help them in future challenges.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your belief in our students and your commitment to making their educational journey the best it can be. Your generosity has set them on a path to finish this year strong and begin their next steps with the knowledge and confidence they need for future success.","fullyFundedDate":1738178579926,"projectUrl":"project/finishing-strong-empowering-learning-f/9082895/","projectTitle":"\"Finishing Strong: Empowering Learning for the Second Semester!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Loya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9468019"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14034","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1094,"numTeachers":75,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":35.0,"schoolId":14034,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Parkland Pre - Engineering Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Parkland Pre - Engineering Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/ysleta-independent-school-district/parkland-middle-school/14034"}
