Because of you, our students now have an engaging, creative space where language, culture, and hands-on learning come together. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our classroom and school community.\r\n\r\nOur students are beyond excited to use the Lego wall. They eagerly gather around it to build, collaborate, and share ideas. I have even heard several students from other classes say, \"I wish we had a Lego wall!\" and ask if they could help add to it. This excitement shows just how meaningful and inspiring this project has been. Together, our students and teachers recently worked to create a Día de los Muertos Lego-scape, which sparked rich conversations about traditions, symbolism, and cultural pride.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next project will be preparing for La Feria, an event that celebrates Latino culture and heritage. Students will design and build different Lego scenes and scapes that promote Latino pride, history, and culture. Through this project, they will continue to develop creativity, teamwork, and cultural understanding—made possible by your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and supporting meaningful, joyful learning experiences. We are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1757718762743,"projectUrl":"project/lego-en-espaol/9678683/","projectTitle":"LEGO en español","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Booher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239998"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33657","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2236,"numTeachers":137,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.7,"schoolId":33657,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Manchester High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Manchester High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/chesterfield-county-public-schools/manchester-high-school/33657"}
