Paper towels allow for quick and easy cleanups, teaching students responsibility and helping us maintain a tidy classroom. Hand soap supports good hygiene, which is so important in keeping our students healthy and in school, ready to learn.

Because of your support, we were able to officially launch our brand-new show, The Weekly Roar, now streaming on our Dragon Media Network Instagram page. This has been a milestone achievement for our program, giving students real-world experience in planning, producing, and sharing content with a live audience. The technology is helping them learn industry-level skills—teaching them how to capture quality audio and video, manage storage effectively, and, most importantly, tell stories with professionalism and pride.\r\n\r\nThe students are especially excited about the headphones, which have completely transformed the way they edit. Being able to hear their audio clearly allows them to fine-tune details they would have otherwise missed, giving them confidence in their final projects. Some students who were once hesitant to edit now look forward to this process, knowing they have the right tools to do the job well. For example, one of my quieter students has found a new passion in audio editing and is now volunteering to take on more responsibility during productions because they feel empowered by the clarity and control the equipment provides.\r\n\r\nWe are truly thankful for your belief in our students and their potential. Your generosity has not only given us the tools to succeed but has also created excitement, confidence, and a sense of professionalism in young creators who are just starting their journey. Thank you for investing in their growth and helping us build something meaningful that will continue to inspire for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1746786028840,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-student-filmmakers-through-yo/9082887/","projectTitle":"Empowering Student Filmmakers Through Your Generosity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8797435_orig.jpg?crop=1920,1920,x0,y243&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693956590301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8797435"},{"teacherId":8926073,"projectId":9272230,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to our classroom collection.
