The technology you helped provide has already made a tremendous impact on my students' learning experience. In our CTE IT program, students aren't just using devices—they're building, coding, troubleshooting, and creating real-world solutions. This technology is helping bridge the gap between academic concepts and hands-on application, something especially powerful for learners who thrive with visual and interactive tools. The tools you've helped provide have transformed our classroom into a future-ready learning environment.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting to the students is how empowered they feel using professional-level equipment and platforms. They see their work as real, not just school assignments, and it's boosted their confidence and curiosity. One student in particular, who was once very quiet and unsure of her tech abilities, is now leading group projects and tutoring peers thanks to her success with our new software and devices. The technology didn't just support her learning—it unlocked her leadership potential.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has gone far beyond just buying equipment—it's opened doors, sparked interest, and inspired futures. Thank you for being a part of our students' journey.","fullyFundedDate":1750871464471,"projectUrl":"project/empower-cte-it-students/9397974/","projectTitle":"Empower CTE IT Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9650172_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738182768027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9650172"},{"teacherId":1798502,"projectId":8687294,"letterContent":"I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation that provided tablets for my students. As a teacher of Digital Marketing and Fashion Design Marketing, I constantly strive to give my students real-world, hands-on experiences that will prepare them for careers in these evolving industries.\r\n\r\nBefore your support, we faced a major challenge—many of the essential design and marketing programs we needed simply couldn't be downloaded or run on our school computers. This limited our ability to fully explore projects, be creative, and stay aligned with industry tools.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, that barrier has been lifted. The tablets you helped provide have opened the door for my students to dive into Canva, Cricut Design Space, and other professional platforms without limits. I've already seen their confidence and excitement grow as they explore what's possible when they have the right tools in their hands.\r\n\r\nYour kindness didn't just fund technology—it empowered opportunity. You reminded my students that there are people out there who believe in them and their potential.

From practicing essential skills to applying medical knowledge in real-world scenarios, your contribution has given them a deeper appreciation for the field and greater confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in my classroom has been incredible! Students have shared how these resources have made learning more interactive and meaningful. Some have even been inspired to pursue careers in healthcare, knowing they have the tools and support to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is shaping the future of healthcare, one student at a time.

Recently, we used them to analyze primary sources from the Civil Rights Movement. Students worked through photos and speeches, piecing together the stories of real people who made a difference. It was great seeing them share ideas and ask questions that pushed their thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were thrilled. One of them said, \"This makes us feel like real historians!\" The excitement was contagious, and it's made our lessons more engaging and hands-on.\r\n\r\nNext, we're moving into the American Revolution. These resources will help my students compare different perspectives and prepare for a classroom debate. They're excited to keep learning, and I'm grateful for the chance to bring history to life for them.
