Your support has made an incredible impact on our players — both on and off the court.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our team now has the proper gear to train safely, improve their skills, and play with confidence. The new basketballs, uniforms, and training tools have lifted team spirit and inspired the boys to work harder and dream bigger. They take pride in representing our school, knowing that people like you believe in their potential.\r\n\r\nYour generosity isn't just helping us win games — it's building teamwork, discipline, and confidence that will stay with these young athletes for life.","fullyFundedDate":1759205151024,"projectUrl":"project/sports-equipment/9720555/","projectTitle":"Sports Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. La","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974206"},{"teacherId":5813741,"projectId":9254739,"letterContent":"Our students are using the new furniture: our cozy classroom couch, rug, and bean bags, to create a welcoming and inclusive Resource Lab environment. The space has quickly become a hub for small group sessions, social-emotional learning activities, and collaborative projects. It's a comfortable area where our diverse learners can regulate, connect with peers, and feel safe while engaging in academic or counseling support.\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was during a reading intervention group. A student who is usually hesitant to participate chose to sit on the couch with a classmate, and for the first time, volunteered to read aloud. The relaxed, home-like setting helped build confidence and fostered peer interaction in a way that our traditional classroom setup couldn't.","fullyFundedDate":1752764240380,"projectUrl":"project/support-a-safecalming-space-for-student/9254739/","projectTitle":"Support a Safe/Calming Space for Students With Unique Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moreira-Guana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5813741_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745217918750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5813741"},{"teacherId":9974206,"projectId":9564951,"letterContent":"Thank you for your contribution to my classroom so we could get dry-erase markers for the year. Now, mistakes are easy to erase, so students feel safer trying new strategies without the fear of being \"stuck\" with an error. This builds a growth mindset — mistakes become part of the process, not permanent. Using whiteboards or personal dry-erase boards turns students into active participants. Every student can solve and show work at the same time instead of just one at the board. I can scan boards and see who's on track or who needs help. Peer discussion is easy — students can hold up boards and compare solutions. Students can model equations, graph lines, or break down word problems in real time. The class can see the process, not just the final answer.","fullyFundedDate":1755746066355,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9564951/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. La","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974206"},{"teacherId":9974206,"projectId":9411770,"letterContent":"Thank you for your contribution that made it possible for me to get two iPads for my high school classroom. These iPads make learning interactive and visually appealing. Apps like Desmos, GeoGebra, and virtual manipulatives let students see math concepts in action (e.g., adjusting slope and intercept dynamically). Both the students and I can make visual feedback, making abstract ideas more concrete.\r\n\r\nI can make personalized lessons using adaptive learning apps (like IXL, Khan Academy, DreamBox) that adjust to a student's level, giving extra support if they're behind or challenges if they're ahead. Students can move at their own pace. Students can share work digitally with peers or teachers, collaborate on problem-solving apps, or annotate shared documents. I can also monitor progress in real time.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for everything","fullyFundedDate":1750449559008,"projectUrl":"project/improving-classroom-engagement-with-ipad/9411770/","projectTitle":"Improving Classroom Engagement with iPads","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. La","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974206"},{"teacherId":10164244,"projectId":9640659,"letterContent":"The addition of MacBook Airs and AirPods has truly transformed learning in my classroom. With the MacBook, students can seamlessly access Google Classroom, where I post interactive assignments, share resources, and provide instant feedback. Desmos Teacher Lessons have also become more impactful, allowing students to graph, model, and explore mathematical concepts in a hands-on, engaging way. These tools have turned abstract ideas into meaningful learning experiences that students can connect with inside and outside of the classroom.\r\n\r\nAirPods complement this by creating a clear and focused learning environment. Whether students are listening to video instructions, participating in virtual discussions, or using accessibility features like text-to-speech, the wireless audio ensures that they can engage without distraction. This personalized support has made lessons more inclusive, especially for students who benefit from focused listening or need additional language and accessibility tools.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have given students a sense of independence and confidence in their learning. Students with learning differences or language barriers now feel supported and motivated, while all students enjoy the flexibility, convenience, and relevance of using modern technology. Your generosity has not only provided access to powerful tools but has also empowered every student to participate fully in an interactive, equitable, and inspiring educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1756101436837,"projectUrl":"project/powering-student-success-with-macbook-ai/9640659/","projectTitle":"Powering Student Success with Macbook Air and AirPods","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164244"},{"teacherId":8219463,"projectId":9282532,"letterContent":"Thank you LOADS for donating these classroom materials to my humble class of seniors.
