The black books will be used by our interpretation and speaking students to organize performance pieces, while the legal pads give our debaters a dedicated place for flowing rounds, taking notes, and preparing arguments. Poster board, magnets, tape, and the other materials will help us organize practices, prepare tournament materials, and create visual resources for the team.\r\n\r\nAs our season continues, students will use these supplies to prepare speeches, develop cases, practice performances, and get ready for upcoming tournaments. These may seem like simple supplies, but with a large team, having them readily available makes a huge difference. Students can focus on improving their skills without worrying about bringing or purchasing materials themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students the resources they need to prepare, practice, and compete!","fullyFundedDate":1787752306785,"projectUrl":"project/equipped-to-speak-ready-to-debate/10502505/","projectTitle":"Equipped to Speak, Ready to Debate","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. J.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3311210_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484323862353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-johnston76"},{"teacherId":721312,"projectId":9686914,"letterContent":"We are 2 tournaments into our season, and your generous donations have helped to keep us supplied!!

Thanks to your contributions, our speech and debate team has been able to acquire essential materials that have transformed how we prepare, compete, and grow as communicators and advocates.\r\n\r\nYour donation has proven invaluable in ways both expected and wonderfully practical. The supplies have enabled us to create compelling visual aids that bring complex ideas to life. Our students have crafted stunning presentations on psychological theories of attachment styles, examined American attitudes on wealth through creative displays, and explored the corporate impact on youth theatre with visuals that truly resonate with audiences. Beyond the competition sphere, the sewing kits have already become lifesavers—literally mending button-up shirts and solving an emergency rip-in-the-pants situation before competitions. These tools have become essential to our team's success and have fostered a spirit of mutual support and problem-solving that extends far beyond public speaking.\r\n\r\nThe impact on our students has been truly heartwarming. Beyond the practical benefits, we've witnessed something special unfold within our team. Students who were previously hesitant to participate in informative speaking have gained confidence and excitement about bringing their research to life through visual storytelling. We've seen shy freshmen step forward to help teammates with last-minute speech adjustments, and watched upperclassmen mentor younger students through the research and argumentation process together. One student, who joined the team mid-season, told us that having access to quality materials made her feel like her ideas and voice truly mattered. Another shared that the sewing kit incident—where a teammate's pants ripped right before competition and everyone rallied to fix it—showed her what true community looked like. This season, students have actively participated in our program in our largest team in three years, and the energy and camaraderie they've built is something we never could have predicted. They're not just competitors; they're supporting one another, celebrating each other's successes, and growing together in ways that extend far beyond the debate stage.\r\n\r\nWe're excited to announce an ambitious competition schedule ahead. This November alone, our team will compete in three local tournaments—a rigorous stretch that will test their skills and build momentum for the rest of the season. With the foundation that your generous support has provided, we're hopeful and energized about advancing to district competitions next semester, followed by state-level competitions. We're dreaming about Nationals—and with the quality of work we're seeing from our students, it feels like more than just a distant goal.\r\nYour investment in these supplies isn't just helping us win competitions; it's helping our students believe in themselves and in each other.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and investing in their futures. Your support makes a tangible difference in their lives. We couldn't do it without you.","fullyFundedDate":1757517853132,"projectUrl":"project/worth-every-word-building-student-succe/9688170/","projectTitle":"Worth Every Word- Building Student Success in Speech and Debate","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lakamp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243862_orig.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757357066260","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243862"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104927","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":332,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":104927,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Collegiate School of Med & Biosci on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Collegiate School of Med & Biosci","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-louis-public-schools/collegiate-school-of-medicine-and-bioscience/104927"}
