I want to begin by sincerely apologizing for my delayed thank-you. Please know that your generosity has not gone unnoticed, and I am truly grateful for your support of my classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students now have access to resources that enhance their learning experience in meaningful ways. These materials are not just items in a classroom, they are tools that inspire curiosity, build confidence, and create opportunities for growth each and every day.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a direct impact on my students, many of whom benefit deeply from having engaging and supportive learning materials. It is a blessing to witness their excitement and increased participation, and that is because of you.\r\n\r\nTeaching is more than a profession, for me, it is a calling, and your support reminds me that there is a community that believes in both educators and students. Thank you for investing in our future and for making a difference where it truly matters.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation.","fullyFundedDate":1768257495551,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials-for-focus-and-engag/9992391/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials for Focus and Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arianna Keith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8271299_orig.jpg?crop=2222,2222,x841,y929&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699296577813","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8271299"},{"teacherId":10399099,"projectId":9992960,"letterContent":"My students and I are using the new resources in multiple ways. The tissues, pencils, glue sticks, markers, and notebooks are used every day. Students are required in my class to use their notebooks for warm-ups, notes, and reflections. All the resources that were provided make the interactive notebooks possible. \r\n\r\nThe large Post-it notes were the resource I was the most excited to use. I have used this resource to do multiple gallery walks with my students. Students can ask questions, synthesize information from resources, and look at peer comments using these post-it notes. \r\n\r\nI am so grateful that these resources were provided to me so I can best teach my students.

These new materials have already made a big difference. We're using them every day, and they've made lessons more fun and hands-on for my students.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was when students used the materials for a recent project. They were so engaged, working together, asking questions, and really getting into their learning. It was great to see their excitement and confidence grow.\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the kids were thrilled. They couldn't wait to try everything out and were so grateful for the new tools.\r\nNext, we're planning to use these materials in our upcoming lessons to keep building their skills and creativity.

With the new resources, we've been able to bring literature to life in ways that simply weren't possible before. Recently, students worked in small groups to analyze themes and character development in our current novel, using the materials you provided to annotate, collaborate, and present their ideas. One moment that stood out was watching a typically quiet student confidently lead her group's discussion—something I know was made possible because she felt prepared and supported with the tools in front of her.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement in the room was immediate and genuine. Students were eager to explore everything, asking questions and diving right in without hesitation. It may seem small, but having access to fresh, engaging resources made them feel valued and motivated—it showed them that people beyond our classroom care about their learning and success. That sense of pride and ownership has already made a noticeable difference in their participation and confidence.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue building on these skills through a larger project where they'll create their own literary analyses and presentations, incorporating both written and visual elements. These resources will support them every step of the way as they deepen their understanding and develop their voices as readers and writers. Thank you for opening doors for my students and for being an important part of their academic journey—we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1768145808375,"projectUrl":"project/from-readers-to-thinkers-supporting-9th/9992860/","projectTitle":"From Readers to Thinkers: Supporting 9th Grade English Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8161487_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651241294339","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8161487"},{"teacherId":9348950,"projectId":9992075,"letterContent":"I would like to give thanks for your generous contribution to my classroom. My students and I have already begun putting these resources to great use nearly every day. Recently, I held a \"Gallery Walk\" where students used the easel pads to map out character arcs from our latest novel. Seeing them collaborate and demonstrate their understanding on such a large scale brought a new level of energy to our literary analysis.\r\n\r\nSoon, students will be using the index cards to organize their evidence and the wide-ruled filler paper to draft their opening statements for a mock trial project. We plan to use the various colors of Astrobrights paper to color-code different rhetorical appeals—ethos, pathos, and logos—so students can visually track the strength of their arguments. \r\n\r\nAgain, I want to thank you for affording my students this unique opportunity to learn with every supply they need readily available to them.","fullyFundedDate":1768100707324,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-welcoming-classroom/9992075/","projectTitle":"Creating a Welcoming Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Navarro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9348950_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698880122623","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9348950"},{"teacherId":9466031,"projectId":10009869,"letterContent":"In a world where the vast majority of people, not just students, prefer to write a message using a keyboard rather than an actual pencil or pen, it can be a challenge to find methods that encourage students to write. And personally knowing that in order for my students to actually learn and master the two different alphabets that are used to write Japanese that writing is essential, having tools that make the writing process a bit more engaging and enjoyable are greatly appreciated. \r\n\r\nUsing proper Fude (calligraphy or \"brush\") pens make the task of writing characters and words a greater learning experience. Students mention that their writing simply looks cleaner, sharper and \"more Japanese\". \r\n\r\nSo through your generosity, I am confident that my students will develop a greater connection to the Japanese language and build a more solid foundation for further learning in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1768265215813,"projectUrl":"project/write-as-a-member-of-the-imperial-court/10009869/","projectTitle":"Write as a Member of the Imperial Court of Japan","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9466031"},{"teacherId":10414343,"projectId":10046546,"letterContent":"The new resources allow our students to have some independence with preparing some food to eat. We cook once a week, whether it be with the electric skillet or the toaster. We use the blender several times a week to make healthy smoothies.\r\n\r\nSeveral of our students did not use utensils to eat before we started this project, now they are able to butter their own toast. The boost in confidence is amazing, some of the students are non-verbal but the smile on their faces says it all. \r\nThe students are also learning to use the microwave and air fryer. They are not able to read but they can pour and mix ingredients. The next project is continuing to progress with independent living skills, cleaning up after preparing food or smoothies. We will increase the 1-2 step directions to 3-4 step directions for preparing meals.\r\n\r\nThank you for the support and the opportunity to improve their independence and quality of life.","fullyFundedDate":1769131523268,"projectUrl":"project/cooking-for-independence/10046546/","projectTitle":"Cooking for Independence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Napiorkowski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10414343"},{"teacherId":8170749,"projectId":9999533,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your continued support of my crazy ideas. My advanced studies students had so much fun and remembered so much of their prior learning. They told me it was fun to be able to apply the skills they had learned in class to a crime scene and having to combine skills to solve the crime. Overall they were able to work together and found the correct suspect 3/4 times. I am so happy I was able to enhance their school year by bringing in some hands on activity. Since there were only a few students, we did not use all the materials and there will be enough to use with students next year as well.

Now, we can analyze the various aspects of the movie sound experience through the last 150 years of film.

It is one thing to read about aquatic health in a textbook, but it is a completely different experience for students to hold the tools of a real scientist in their hands.\r\n\r\nWe have wasted no time putting these resources to work! My environmental science students used to both resources in their Eco-Column assignment where they mimic an open terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Using the DO meter, we can measure the oxygen levels in water samples to make sure we are creating an environment safe for aquatic organisms. \r\n\r\nThe day the boxes of glasses arrived felt like a holiday. When I pulled out the new lab glasses, the students were thrilled to replace our old, scratched pairs with ones they could actually see through! However, the real star was the DO meter. One student remarked, \"We look like a real research team now.\" There is a newfound sense of pride and seriousness in the lab; they aren't just \"doing schoolwork\" anymore—they are conducting an investigation.\r\nYour contribution has done more than just provide hardware; it has validated my students' potential as future scientists.

The pencils ensure that every student is always prepared to participate, eliminating the stress of not having basic materials. The stickers have become a powerful motivational tool—after grading assignments, I place them on student work to recognize effort, accuracy, and improvement. One memorable moment was during a recent math practice activity when students eagerly flipped over their papers, excited to see which sticker they earned after solving multi-step problems. It sparked conversations about showing their work and checking answers, helping build a positive and encouraging learning environment. The scent plugs have also transformed our classroom atmosphere; what used to be a distraction is now a fresh, welcoming space that helps students stay focused throughout the day.","fullyFundedDate":1768060436934,"projectUrl":"project/comforting-and-engaging-classroom/9990146/","projectTitle":"Comforting and Engaging Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ledesma","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9591798"},{"teacherId":9714566,"projectId":10002713,"letterContent":"Our students are incredibly grateful for the addition of laptops to our high school PE program, and the impact has already been meaningful in ways that go far beyond traditional physical activity.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors may be used to technology for work, communication, or entertainment, but in our PE classroom, laptops are helping students connect physical movement with learning. Students are now able to track their fitness data, set personal goals, and reflect on their progress using digital tools. For example, they can monitor heart rate zones, log workouts, and analyze improvement over time. This transforms PE from just \"doing\" activities into understanding health, fitness, and lifelong wellness. It also allows us to incorporate lessons on nutrition, anatomy, and personal fitness planning in a much more engaging and interactive way.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about the laptops is the sense of ownership over their learning. They love being able to create personalized fitness plans, watch skill demonstrations, and immediately apply what they learn. Instead of passively participating, they are actively engaged in designing their own fitness journey. The technology also makes learning more accessible—students can revisit instructions, watch videos at their own pace, and receive instant feedback.\r\n\r\nWe've seen some particularly powerful impacts on students who may not traditionally thrive in a physical education setting. Students who are less confident in their athletic abilities have really connected with the technology side of the class. They take pride in tracking progress, researching fitness topics, and setting achievable goals. Additionally, students who are more academically inclined enjoy the data analysis and reflection components, giving them another way to shine in PE. English language learners and students who benefit from visual supports have also gained confidence by using videos and interactive tools to better understand activities.\r\n\r\nOverall, these laptops are helping us create a more inclusive, personalized, and meaningful PE experience. They are not just enhancing how students move—they are deepening how they think about their health, their goals, and their future.","fullyFundedDate":1768174167790,"projectUrl":"project/technology-in-the-classroom/10002713/","projectTitle":"Technology in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Gidge","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9714566"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68350","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2386,"numTeachers":110,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.6,"schoolId":68350,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Foothill High School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Foothill High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/foothill-high-school/68350"}
