Because of your generosity, we were able to get the lab supplies we really needed, and it has already made such a positive impact on my students.\r\n\r\nBefore these supplies arrived, many of our lessons had to stay on paper. Now, students are getting to experience science the way it's meant to be learned—through hands-on exploration. The first time we used the new materials, the excitement in the room was unbelievable. Students were buzzing with curiosity, asking thoughtful questions, and jumping right into their experiments with so much enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThey were genuinely thrilled to participate in the labs, and several told me it was the most fun they've had in science all year. A few even stayed after class to talk about what they discovered. Ever since that day, they've been asking, \"When's our next lab?\" It's been amazing to see them look forward to learning and to watch their confidence grow as they work with real equipment.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just help us buy supplies—it opened up opportunities. It allowed students who might not always feel connected to science to have that \"aha\" moment where something finally clicks. It also showed them that there are people beyond our school walls who care about their education and believe in their potential. That kind of support means more than you know.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping bring excitement, curiosity, and hands-on learning into our classroom. We're truly grateful for your generosity and the difference you're making for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1757511571957,"projectUrl":"project/santanelli-labs/9532314/","projectTitle":"Santanelli Labs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Santanelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10110975_orig.jpg?crop=701,701,x186,y763&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754571626339","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10110975"},{"teacherId":10228431,"projectId":9658401,"letterContent":"I am absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful to let you know that our classroom project, \"Latinos in Action Class/You Belong!\" has been fully funded!

We have equipment that would be the envy of some colleges. This year we added a Cavendish Balance which will allow my students to reproduce one of the most famous experiments ever performed. Measuring the value of the Universal Gravitational Constant requires a level of precision that is unheard of in a high school setting. And yet, when we get to Ch 13 on Gravitation, my students will get to try thanks to your generosity.\r\nMy students have already used some of the equipment you helped purchase, and unboxing the material is very similar to the excitement they feel around the holidays! I always like to have the kids open the boxes because they are like little kids as they eagerly remove the equipment and test it out!\r\nWe could not do it without your generous support.

This took off the stress if a student left their calculator home, or if their battery had died, or if they just did not have one. Often, all 5 calculators were checked out during a lesson/assignment. I believe, without a doubt, that this helped make a difference in preparing for their AP exam.

The digital scales and butane tanks had been a hit this year. \r\n\r\nOur classroom has also become more technology friendly. The kids were truly impress by the 65\" Smart TV offering a huge display. No-one was expecting it to be so big! We had to place an extender board on top of our petite bookcase to fit it perfectly and safely in place. It is definitely benefitting those sitting in the back rows of our classroom, allowing them to fully engage in the day's lesson. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generous gifts, the dynamic of my classroom is collaborative, student-centered, and actively engaging, with a strong emphasis on open discussion and first hand experiences.

In today's fast-paced digital world, the opportunity to hold a book and dive into its narrative is more valuable than ever. The novels you helped provide have not only enhanced our curriculum but have also played a significant role in fostering a genuine love for literature among our students.\r\n\r\nWith these novel sets, our classroom has become a vibrant space where students eagerly engage with stories, share insights, and develop critical thinking skills. The diversity of themes and characters in these novels has opened their minds to new perspectives and cultures, promoting empathy and understanding. Students have expressed their excitement and newfound appreciation for reading, often discussing the books outside of class and even forming study groups to delve deeper into the texts.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the novels have allowed us to implement more interactive and dynamic teaching methods. From literature circles to creative projects, students are actively participating and taking ownership of their learning journey. We have witnessed an increase in their confidence and ability to articulate their thoughts, both in writing and discussion.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly been instrumental in transforming our classroom environment and encouraging a lifelong passion for reading.
