Our students are loving having a calming space to come to when they need a break from the classroom. They were so excited to explore and engage with the new sensory items. Specifically, they are really loving the sensory lights, beanbag chair, and calming fidgets! Our Zen Zone has created a lot of chatter-- as students have been constantly stopping to check out the space!\r\n\r\nIn addition, our teachers have shared our excitement and are noticing what a difference this space has made for our students with sensory issues. Teachers have seen the positive impact it has had on our students, noting that they are more focused and eager to learn upon returning to class.\r\n\r\nThank you, on behalf of the Bronx Latin School community, for making our Zen Zone possible without your support!","fullyFundedDate":1758365706394,"projectUrl":"project/the-zen-zone-sensory-space/9708500/","projectTitle":"The Zen Zone: Sensory Space","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barcelo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9333282"},{"teacherId":7747655,"projectId":9003142,"letterContent":"Thank you for investing in my students and their reading interests. \r\n\r\nThe cozy reading area has quickly become a popular spot for students to relax, read, and recharge—whether between classes, during study halls, or after school. The chair is rarely empty, and the new books have sparked genuine excitement. Students are not only reading more, but they're also sharing recommendations and discussing what they're reading with their peers. The new chair has added a warm, inviting touch to the space, often occupied by a reader deeply immersed in a story. Some even line up during breaks just to have a turn in the new chair! This enhanced environment has made reading feel less like a task and more like a cherished escape.\r\n\r\nThe books you provided are flying off the shelves—students are exploring new topics, discovering favorite authors, and developing a deeper love for reading. In fact, students have already expressed interest in creating another project to be able to read even more of their favorite books!","fullyFundedDate":1736778612304,"projectUrl":"project/pen-paper-and-poetry-writing-our-way/9003142/","projectTitle":"Pen, Paper, and Poetry: Writing Our Way to Peace","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Ho Sang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7747655_orig.jpg?crop=1066,1066,x266,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1612229214320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/drhosang"},{"teacherId":9495574,"projectId":8274601,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, this project has profoundly impacted our students, transforming not only their technical skills but also their confidence, creativity, and aspirations for the future. The introduction of disposable film cameras to our photography course has opened doors that many of our students never imagined possible.\r\n\r\nFor many, this was their first experience with photography beyond their smartphones, and the tangible nature of film has helped them develop patience, discipline, and a deeper appreciation for the artistic process. Unlike digital photography, which allows for unlimited attempts, film photography encouraged our students to slow down, think critically about each shot, and truly engage with composition, lighting, and storytelling.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes of this project is the lasting enthusiasm it has sparked. Several students have invested in their own professional cameras, eager to build on the foundation they developed in class. This shift from passive observers to active creators has been incredible to witness. In fact, some of our now-seniors have used their photography portfolios—developed through this project—to apply to art schools, an opportunity they might not have pursued otherwise.\r\n\r\nBeyond technical skills, photography has become a meaningful form of self-expression for many of our students. They've captured their communities, their families, and their own personal narratives in ways that are both powerful and moving. Seeing their work displayed and celebrated has given them a sense of pride and accomplishment that extends beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, this project has led to a unique sustainability initiative. Our students have embraced the challenge of recycling and repurposing cameras, exploring creative ways to extend the life of these tools while learning about environmental responsibility. This added dimension has further deepened their engagement and critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a lasting difference. Thanks to you, our students are not only learning a new craft but also seeing new possibilities for their futures—whether as artists, photographers, or simply individuals who now view the world through a more thoughtful and creative lens. We are beyond grateful for the opportunities you have made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1711555139614,"projectUrl":"project/picture-this-fostering-creativity-with/8274601/","projectTitle":"Picture This: Fostering Creativity With Film Photography!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ahmed","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9495574_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1710858888926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9495574"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24024","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":453,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.4,"schoolId":24024,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bronx Latin School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bronx Latin School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/bronx-latin-school/24024"}
