Thanks to your support, our technology workshop has been fundamentally transformed into a focused, professional, and comfortable learning environment.\r\n\r\nDescribing the Impact of Your Contribution\r\nThe new ergonomic chairs and organization supplies haven't just replaced old, broken furniture; they have revolutionized the way our students approach their work.\r\n\r\nHow We Are Using the New Resources\r\n\r\nOur students are utilizing the resources daily, often for long periods of focused work that was previously uncomfortable or distracting.\r\n\r\n**The most immediate impact was during our recent Networking Troubleshooting Sprint. We task our TechTeam with diagnosing and fixing simulated (and sometimes real!) network bottlenecks. Before, students would fidget or stand up after 20 minutes, unable to concentrate while leaning over keyboards on wobbly stools.\r\n\r\nNow, with the comfortable, adjustable chairs, they can maintain focus for much longer. We watched one group spend over an hour meticulously tracing IP addresses and configuring subnets without a single break. The ability to adjust their seating position to match the height of our various workbenches is a game-changer for detailed hardware maintenance and cabling tasks. The new cleaning and storage supplies also ensure that our sensitive equipment—like network switches and server components—is always dust-free and organized, promoting longevity and responsible use of technology.\r\n\r\nStudent Reaction\r\n\r\nThe students' reaction was priceless. When they first walked into the room and saw the chairs lined up, their jaws dropped. They immediately sat down and started rolling around (safely, of course!), laughing at the comfort.\r\n\r\nThe most telling comment came from one of our most dedicated members, Jane, who said: \"Wow. These chairs make it feel like a real tech company. They actually care about us being comfortable.\"\r\n\r\nThis is the true, hidden impact: your donation sent a powerful message of validation. By providing professional-grade tools and furniture, you showed them that their work, their comfort, and their learning are highly valued. This feeling of professionalism has led to increased focus, pride in their space, and a greater sense of ownership over the tools and projects.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our TechTeam\r\n\r\nBuilding on the focused environment you helped create, our next major project is the development of a School Digital Signage System. This task requires extensive coding, content management, and deployment of Raspberry Pi devices across the campus—all demanding long hours of planning and execution in our newly comfortable lab.\r\n\r\nThe \"clear minds\" facilitated by our \"clean spaces\" mean we can tackle this complex, real-world project with improved efficiency and sustained concentration. Your investment has set the stage for our students to create a highly visible, permanent technology contribution to our school community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and empowering them to pursue excellence in technology!","fullyFundedDate":1759534644011,"projectUrl":"project/clean-spaces-clear-minds-new-chairs-an/9722588/","projectTitle":"Clean Spaces, Clear Minds: New Chairs and Supplies for Our TechTeam","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lipp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9219803"},{"teacherId":10110690,"projectId":9531736,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support on my Donorschoose project, \"Printerest: Streamlining Our Classroom Printing Needs\".

Students now have a consistent supply of quality notebooks, pencils, pens, and colorful markers, which has eliminated the frustration of running out of supplies mid-sentence. Recently, during our \"Personal Narratives\" unit, every student had their own crisp, new notebook dedicated solely to their writing journey. This allowed them to freely draft, revise, and illustrate their stories without worrying about space or messy pages. One student, who used to be hesitant to write, filled an entire notebook with adventures about their family pet, proudly showing off each page because they finally had the tools to bring their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nWhen the new boxes of supplies arrived, the students' eyes lit up! There was an immediate sense of excitement and ownership. Many children carefully picked out their favorite colored pens and pencils, arranging them neatly in their new pencil cases. This simple act of having their own fresh, quality materials instilled a sense of pride and readiness to learn. It wasn't just about the supplies; it was about feeling valued and prepared for the important work of writing.\r\n\r\nBuilding on the success of our personal narratives, our students are now transitioning to a persuasive writing project. They will be researching a topic they feel strongly about—such as the importance of recycling or why certain school rules should be changed—and then crafting arguments to convince their audience. Having a fresh supply of paper for brainstorming, outlines, and multiple drafts will be crucial for this complex writing task. Your support ensures they have every tool they need to articulate their thoughts powerfully and confidently.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' voices and helping them discover the joy and power of writing.","fullyFundedDate":1726795991335,"projectUrl":"project/write-because-its-right-providing-wri/8661087/","projectTitle":"Write Because It's Right - Providing Writing Materials for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cornelio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9640166"},{"teacherId":9640166,"projectId":8609660,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in supporting our project, \"COMPUTER TO PREPARE: Teach and Engage Students in Class.\" The MacBook you provided has truly transformed our classroom, and we're so excited to share how it's making a difference.\r\n\r\nThe technology you've provided us is helping our students, and it has empowered me as their teacher to prepare more dynamic and effective lessons. The MacBook's speed and powerful software allow me to create engaging presentations with videos, animations, and up-to-date resources that I couldn't access before. I can also use it to manage student data more efficiently and provide more personalized feedback. This improved preparation directly translates into a more exciting and impactful learning experience for every student in my class.\r\n\r\nWith the help of the tech we've received from you, a new level of creativity and interactivity in our lessons is visible. Students are now seeing their learning come to life on the screen. For example, instead of just reading about a concept, they can watch a short, animated video I've prepared. They've also been thrilled by the opportunity to see their own work, whether it's a presentation they've made or a piece of writing, displayed on the new computer.

Graphic novels blend visual storytelling with traditional narrative elements, helping students analyze plot, character development, and theme through both text and image. These books often feature complex, relatable characters and culturally rich settings that foster empathy and perspective-taking. They are particularly effective in supporting visual learners, reluctant readers, and English language learners, as the visual context reinforces comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. By including these titles, we give students tools to interpret narrative structure, symbolism, and tone in a format that feels approachable and relevant.\r\n\r\nReading has become more dynamic and inclusive with the addition of these graphic novels. Students often read in small groups or pairs, pausing to discuss the storylines, interpret illustrations, or make connections to other texts and their own lives. One noticeable shift is how often students who previously struggled to engage with reading now seek out time to read. These books have sparked enthusiasm and deeper comprehension, enriching our reading culture.","fullyFundedDate":1744233157581,"projectUrl":"project/new-manga-and-graphic-novels-for-the-lib/9174674/","projectTitle":"New Manga and Graphic Novels for the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tengan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9340024"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50970","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1266,"numTeachers":79,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":50970,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Henry Perrine Baldwin High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Henry Perrine Baldwin High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/maui-school-district/henry-perrine-baldwin-high-school/50970"}
