I am able to readily print all sorts of materials without having to find someone to print for me or going to Staples to print. Teachers and students also benefited from having a color printer in the library to support their work.\r\n\r\nDuring the past few months, I have printed monthly themed signs for table displays, seasonal and holiday celebratory messages, display pieces for all sorts of bulletin boards, library passes, manipulative visuals to enhance instruction, shelf signs, wall displays, instructional documents, and student work.\r\n\r\nThe library is aglow with a new vibrancy since the visuals can now be updated more often and are no longer in black and white. I am so very appreciative of your generous donation. Thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1778456922130,"projectUrl":"project/color-printer-for-middle-school-students/10255264/","projectTitle":"Color Printer for Middle School Students School Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Choong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mei-choong"},{"teacherId":5738254,"projectId":8072355,"letterContent":"Prior to this donation, limited resources meant students often had to share equipment in large clusters, where one or two vocal students did the building while others watched.\r\n\r\nThe Impact: The new SPIKE kits allowed us to pivot to small-group engineering teams. In groups of just 2 to 3, every single student had their hands on the bricks and their fingers on the keyboard. This structure fostered intense collaboration, taught peer negotiation, and ensured every student developed authentic technical confidence.\r\n\r\nYour donation did not just sit on a classroom shelf; it traveled to the regional competition and propelled a group of determined 5th through 8th graders onto the Championship stage. You gave them the tools, and they proved they have the talent. Thank you for investing in our future engineers, programmers, and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1706561748293,"projectUrl":"project/advance-our-robotic-skills/8072355/","projectTitle":"Advance Our Robotic Skills!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amalfitano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5738254"},{"teacherId":9784762,"projectId":9253461,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our stem for dance illuminated costumes project.

Thank you for your contribution to help me purchase growth lights for the plants and the motion detector lights for the dark corner of the library. \r\n\r\nThe plant lights were purchased to help the plants thrive in the library. Some of the plants are placed in places that do not get a lot of light. With the extra light support, the plants are thriving beautifully and students love watching them grow so well. They also help to maintain the plants in the library and learn about plant care at the same time. \r\n\r\nThe motion detection lights are truly amazing at lighting up the dark corner of the library where books shelved under the \"M\" authors (last names starting with M) are difficult to see. With the lights up, I noticed that more students are browsing that section. The lights truly brighten up the corner and make it inviting for students to browse the books. I truly appreciate your kind donations to support this endeavor.","fullyFundedDate":1759791288207,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-the-school-library/9770332/","projectTitle":"Light Up the School Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Choong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mei-choong"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1101","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1559,"numTeachers":95,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":25,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":1101,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Intermediate School 227 Louis Armstrong on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Intermediate School 227 Louis Armstrong","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/is-227-louis-armstrong/1101"}
