We want to share our students' work with the school community and currently do not have a efficient way to do that.

Bulletin boards in the hallway outside of the school library media center would enable everyone to see the results of our students' hard work.

Your help will enable our students, teachers and parents to celebrate the successes of our students by showcasing their work. hide»

Our students need 2 bulletin boards. details»

Dear Creative Artists Agency,

My students (all 1,200 plus of them) and I thank you for your donation to Donors Choose and our project. Your generosity provided two large bulletin boards for the hallway just outside of the Media Center in our school. This is our showcase! We can let all who pass know what wonderful things we are learning in our media classes. We can display our finished products to excite other students and invite curriculum connections.

In these days of budget cuts, libraries and media centers are not exempt. Your donation not only provided necessary resources, but also enabled us to spread the word about the value of our media instructional program and its critical role in the academics of our school.

Thank you from all of us!

With gratitude,
Mrs. W.

Dear Creative Artists Agency,

Thank you for funding my DonorsChoose project. My students and I are excited about their research projects and are eager to display them in a more public location than is currently available to us. Your generous donation will enable all our students, teachers and school visitors to see the students' work.

Instructionally, our media program emphasizes relevant projects for our students. We integrate our information skills curriculum into the classroom's academic framework. For example, as the third graders are learning about the solar system in the science portion of their academics, they research a specific planet, using media center resources. After editing their information, the students work with the computer lab teacher using Publisher to add clip art and photos, creating a flier showcasing their planet. Now we'll be able to display their hard work!
With gratitude,
Mrs. W.
