The donated technology allowed me to give feedback and grade assignments quick and efficient. The two products I am most excited about are the Chromebook and monitor. The Chromebook doubles as a tablet and allows me mobility throughout the classroom. I use it for my live exemplars as well as for projecting presentations for my scholars. The monitor that I received has also been a life saver. I am able to grade assignments and enter grades all in one. \r\n\r\nAgain, I thank you for your donations that are well appreciated!","fullyFundedDate":1747424046700,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-teach-the-foundations-of-freedo/9307415/","projectTitle":"Tools to Teach the Foundations of Freedom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hatfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9989196_orig.jpg?crop=160,160,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746728824306","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9989196"},{"teacherId":9147348,"projectId":9966306,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to snacks that help them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the school day. When the snacks first arrived, my students were incredibly excited and grateful. For many of them, having a small snack available during the day makes a big difference in their ability to concentrate and fully participate in class activities.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using the snacks during times when students typically begin to lose energy, and the difference has been noticeable. Students are more attentive, engaged, and able to stay on task. It has also helped create a supportive classroom environment where students feel cared for and valued.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support my students during long school days and help them stay prepared for learning and physical activities. Your kindness has helped remove a barrier that many students face, and because of you, they can focus on growing, learning, and reaching their full potential. Thank you again for believing in my students and investing in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1772550516126,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-minds-one-snack-at-a-time/9966306/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Minds, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mosley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9147348_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x162,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737422526461","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9147348"},{"teacherId":10051822,"projectId":9401643,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of books, notebooks, and headphones for our classroom. As a high school English teacher serving scholars from an underserved community, I see every day how the right resources can change how students feel about learning. Many of my students read below grade level, which can make it hard for them to connect with stories or express themselves fully. The new books, written by and about authors who look like them, are helping my students see reading as something meaningful and personal. They are learning to explore themes, understand characters deeply, and make connections to stories that reflect their own lives.\r\n\r\nThe notebooks have quickly become an important part of our daily work. Students use them to take notes, capture new vocabulary, and reflect on what they read and write. Having a dedicated space for their thoughts has helped them feel more confident and organized. The headphones have also made a big difference, especially for students who benefit from listening to texts or using vocabulary-building tools. They help create a focused, supportive environment where every student can learn at their own pace and feel successful.\r\n\r\nThese materials are helping us build a classroom library and a community where reading and writing feel accessible, exciting, and real. My students are beginning to see themselves as readers, writers, and storytellers with something important to say. Your support has done more than provide supplies—it has given my students a sense of possibility. Thank you for believing in them and helping us create a space where they can grow not just academically, but as young people discovering their voices.","fullyFundedDate":1750095116756,"projectUrl":"project/creating-opportunities-through-reading-a/9401643/","projectTitle":"Creating Opportunities Through Reading and Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McDougald","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10051822_orig.jpg?crop=3200,3200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749445796775","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10051822"},{"teacherId":6815747,"projectId":8543334,"letterContent":"Your support of our photography classroom will create an experience that extends far beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. With your donation, we are transforming a space into a true photography lab where students can explore, create, and express themselves in ways that are both educational and deeply personal.\r\n\r\nIn East Baton Rouge Parish, my students come from diverse learning backgrounds. Some are on grade level, while others have specialized education plans, including nonverbal learners, students reading at a pre-K level, and those with speech or communication barriers. Despite these differences, every student shares the desire to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Photography gives them a voice when words are not enough. Your donation ensures that each student, no matter their abilities, has access to professional tools that allow them to explore lighting, composition, visual storytelling, and technical skills in a hands-on, immersive way.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this campaign will be felt in many ways. Students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and artistic skills as they plan, capture, and edit their images. They will gain confidence and self-expression, especially those who struggle to communicate through traditional means. Every photo they take becomes a record of their perspective and creativity—a tangible reflection of their voice and identity.\r\n\r\nBeyond technical skills, this project nurtures empathy, collaboration, and resilience. Students learn to give and receive feedback, tell meaningful stories, and value diverse perspectives. They practice patience, experimentation, and creative problem-solving—skills that carry into every area of life. By providing the materials for a full photography lab, you are creating opportunities for students to imagine possibilities they may not have seen before, whether that's pursuing higher education, creative careers, or simply discovering new confidence in themselves.\r\n\r\nYour generosity will leave a lasting legacy. It will shape a classroom where every student can explore their potential, develop artistic skills, and express their unique voice. By funding this campaign, you are giving my students more than equipment—you are giving them the chance to see themselves differently, to dream bigger, and to capture their own futures.\r\n\r\nIn short, your donation is changing lives. It is providing access, opportunity, and empowerment to a diverse group of students who are ready to create, learn, and shine. Thank you for making this vision possible.","fullyFundedDate":1733164534103,"projectUrl":"project/milburn-university-scholars-capture-the/8543334/","projectTitle":"Milburn University Scholars Capture the Future: Photography Learning Fund","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Milburn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6815747_orig.jpg?crop=883,883,x349,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722641191818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6815747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":529,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":93,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":49.5,"schoolId":121070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Collegiate Baton Rouge on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Collegiate Baton Rouge","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/louisiana-state-board-of-elementary-and-secondary-education/collegiate-baton-rouge-opens-fall-2017-/121070"}
