The hands-on experience using the clean water kit gave them a first hand experience of the process of filtering contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water. The experience not only deepened their understanding of environmental science, but also instilled a sense of responsibility and curiosity about global water challenges. I consider it a real win when I can get them to translate their learning to the real world. \r\n\r\n Additionally. the cork board you helped provide has transformed our classroom into a space that celebrate student achievement.

On behalf of the students and faculty of Horace O'Bryant Middle School in Key West, FL, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of two new microscopes for our 7th-grade science classroom. Your support has made a tremendous impact on our students, many of whom have had limited access to hands-on learning tools due to the challenges of being at a Title 1 school.\r\nThanks to your contribution, our students now have the opportunity to explore the microscopic world in ways that were previously out of reach. The addition of these microscopes has opened up new possibilities for scientific discovery. Students are no longer limited to reading about science; they are actively engaged in observing, experimenting, and discovering the wonders of biology, chemistry, and other sciences.\r\nIn particular, these microscopes have allowed our students to:\r\n•\tExplore cellular structures: Students have examined plant cells, animal cells, and microorganisms, helping them better understand complex biological concepts.\r\n•\tEngage in hands-on learning: With real-world tools at their disposal, students are more engaged in their lessons, fostering a deeper interest in science and critical thinking.\r\n•\tCollaborate and problem-solve: Group activities with the microscopes encourage teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, important skills both inside and outside the classroom.\r\nMany of our students come from families who may not have access to such resources, so the ability to use state-of-the-art equipment has truly inspired them. It has sparked curiosity, increased excitement for learning, and created a new sense of ownership over their education.\r\nYour investment in these microscopes has directly contributed to making science more accessible and engaging for our students, many of whom are experiencing these types of tools for the first time. It is no exaggeration to say that your generosity has made a lasting impact on their academic journey.\r\nOnce again, thank you for your kindness and support. You are making a meaningful difference in the lives of these young learners, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership. We look forward to sharing future successes with you as our students continue to grow and thrive thanks to your thoughtful donation.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\nSue Stamper","fullyFundedDate":1726758510337,"projectUrl":"project/microscopic-vision/8577417/","projectTitle":"Microscopic Vision","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stamper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9356987"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46602","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1011,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":55.1,"schoolId":46602,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Horace O'Bryant School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Horace O'Bryant School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/monroe-county-school-district/horace-o-bryant-middle-school/46602"}
