It is truly a challenge to find funding sources within our state that support music education programs, and your donation has made a meaningful difference for us.\r\n\r\nDue to insufficient funding, our students often face a lack of essential resources that are critical to their growth, development, and success. Your contribution helped bridge that gap by providing items such as t-shirts, cups, and sunglasses, seemingly simple items that added tremendous value and support during our band camp, the crucial kick-off to our season.\r\nThese items not only helped meet practical needs during long days in the sun, but also boosted morale, built a sense of unity, and created excitement among both our new and returning members. The students felt seen and supported, which made a powerful impact on their engagement and enthusiasm right from the start.\r\nBecause of your generosity, the Eisenhower High School Marching Band and Color Guard (Yakima, WA) were able to start the season with pride and purpose. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping us make this season unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1752586566205,"projectUrl":"project/band-camp/9341082/","projectTitle":"Band Camp","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lily (Chloe Pierce)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10030947"},{"teacherId":9268136,"projectId":9338196,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting Equipping Eisenhower Speech and Debate With Tools for Success!

The students really struggle with making connections or reading between the lines.\r\n\r\nI had the students read through independently selected books and we analyzed theme, setting, characters, symbols, and conflict/solution. Each student was learning the importance that these play in a story and why they should include them in their own writing as well.\r\n\r\nThe biggest impact really came from increasing the accessibility to the books in our classroom.

The students are utilizing the tools available to them in a variety of ways specific to their individual needs. In addition to tools available to them at their own work spaces to help calm, regulate and manage time in a sensory friendly way, a calming corner and sensory stations have been set up within the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn the calming corner, students can take a break with their choice of sensory tools, such as a weighted vest, blanket or lap animal (the classroom favorite is a weighted sloth 🦥) or sit with then aquarium lamps and touch sensitive light wall tiles to decompress. A jumbo communication board is available here that allows students another avenue for communicating with staff and peers. The sensory stations change weekly to provide students with tactile experiences that help meet a variety of sensory needs throughout their school day. Tools are also available for students to have at their desks. Weighted vests, blankets and lap animals can be taken to the desk, along with lighted calming tools that guide students through breathing exercise to calm their nervous system. Visual timers are also available to help manage transitions that can be stressful for student. These timers help the students understand when a transition is coming and prepare for them accordingly.\r\n\r\nWithout your support, these critical supports would not have been possible. Now every student has access to multiple methods of meeting the sensory demands their bodies and nervous systems place on them daily.

Your contribution made an incredible impact, allowing my students to gain valuable hands-on experience in suturing techniques, an experience they would not gain elsewhere and benefits them in their academic and professional journeys. With the materials provided, my students were able to practice suturing on the mats provided, refining their technique and building confidence in their skills. These practices were instrumental in helping them understand the precision and dexterity required in medical, dental, veterinary and many other fields. Students will also be given the opportunity to apply their suturing skills in a real-world context during our rat dissection lab. This experience will reinforce their understanding of the techniques needed in surgical aspects. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, we have had the privilege of using the suture materials in collaboration with Grand Canyon University (GCU). This partnership allowed students to engage with higher education professionals exposing them to potential career pathways. \r\nThe impact of these experiences has been so crucial. Many of my students are aspiring medical professionals, veterinarians, and researchers. The have gained confidence in problem-solving abilities and a deeper appreciation for how complex suturing can be. Your generosity has not only provided my students with tangible resources but has also fueled their passion for learning. \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and support. Your contributing has made a lasting impact, and I am truly grateful for your investment in education and helping to inspire and equip these young adults for bright futures.","fullyFundedDate":1731304395515,"projectUrl":"project/future-med-students-high-school/8799879/","projectTitle":"Future Med Students - High School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lamb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9759932_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y280&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726683511056","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9759932"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36851","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2320,"numTeachers":90,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":79.2,"schoolId":36851,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about D.D.
