Equipping our learning environment with essential academic supplies—binders, page dividers, rulers, and reusable wipe-off posters—has immediately established an equitable space where every student is fully prepared to learn. By providing these materials directly, you have effectively removed financial barriers for lower-income students, ensuring that background circumstances never dictate a student's access to high-quality education.\r\n\r\nThese materials have already transformed our daily routines and boosted academic engagement. Using the binders and section dividers, students now systematically organize their interactive notebooks, primary source analyses, and daily coursework into structured thematic portfolios. When working in our World Atlases, the rulers allow students to precisely calculate map scales, navigate spatial relationships, and construct accurate historical timelines. Having these tools readily available keeps our students organized, accountable, and focused on deep content mastery rather than worrying about missing supplies.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the reusable wipe-off posters have elevated group activities across all of my classes. Students frequently collaborate around these posters to map complex geographic regions, synthesize historical evidence, and record collaborative research findings for peer presentations. Your funding does far more than place items on shelves; it builds confidence, fosters active collaboration, and enriches the educational experience for all students at Emery High School. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Utah's educators and young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1785855162280,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k-12-education/10385022/","projectTitle":"USBE AI for K-12 Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Horrocks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5708606_orig.jpg?crop=172,172,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786037878583","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5708606"},{"teacherId":10554281,"projectId":10385196,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous donation. Your support has truly transformed our art program, and I wanted to take a moment to share the wonderful impact you've already made.\r\n\r\nWhen we recently moved into our new school building, we faced a heartbreaking challenge: there simply wasn't a dedicated space for our full-sized pottery wheels. Because of that physical constraint, our traditional ceramics course unfortunately had to be phased out. Yet, through all the changes, the passion and desire among our students to work with clay and create on a wheel never diminished. They kept asking about it, holding onto the hope that we might find a way to bring it back.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, that hope is now a reality. You've given us the means to bring wheel throwing back into our classroom—allowing us to offer this rich, hands-on experience to our students in a meaningful and accessible way.\r\n\r\nThe moment the equipment arrived, the excitement in the studio was electric. We already have students rolling up their sleeves, sitting down at the wheel, and getting their hands muddy. Watching their faces light up as they feel the clay take shape under their fingers has been nothing short of magical. In just a short time, they have already crafted some truly beautiful, impressive pieces that they take immense pride in.\r\n\r\nExperiences like this go far beyond just an art lesson. Working on a pottery wheel teaches patience, focus, resilience, and creative problem-solving. It gives students a quiet, tactile outlet that they wouldn't normally get in a standard classroom setting—an experience many of them would never have had the opportunity to try if not for your support.\r\n\r\nI truly cannot thank you enough for your generosity. People like you bring so much light and opportunity into our schools, reminding our students that their passions are worth investing in. You have made a real, lasting difference in their education and their lives, and for that, we are forever grateful.\r\n\r\nWith warm regards and deepest thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1784853537353,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k12-education-classroom-sup/10385196/","projectTitle":"USBE AI for K–12 Education Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huntington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10554281"},{"teacherId":8307848,"projectId":10385132,"letterContent":"I really appreciate the help with providing sensory items for my classroom.

Sometime they are just kneading the play dough while they are listening to lecture, and the retention has been much better. \r\nFurther, with the law passed by the Utah Legislature regarding cellphone use in the classroom, I was worried about enforcing the law and ruining my relationship with students. I haven't had a single issue with this since students have had other activities to engage with after class time.\r\nThank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1784566328416,"projectUrl":"project/stress-relief-ap-class/10385132/","projectTitle":"Stress Relief AP Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Slater","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8307848"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33054","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":589,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":33054,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Emery High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Emery High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/emery-county-school-district/emery-high-school/33054"}
