Having a dependable printer in our classroom has truly changed the way we teach and learn. No more waiting for shared printers or struggling to modify lessons without the right resources. Now, my students receive visual supports, step-by-step guides, modified worksheets, individualized reading passages, behavior supports, communication tools, and hands-on activity sheets instantly—right when they need them.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest impacts has been on our art activities, which we use not only for creativity but also as a form of therapy. With our new printing capability, I can now create art templates, visual prompts, calming coloring pages, emotion charts, and structured art tasks that help my students express themselves safely and confidently. These printed materials give them the emotional and sensory outlet they need—especially for students who struggle to communicate and express their feelings and emotions. I've seen students relax, open up, and engage more deeply during these art therapy sessions because the instructions and visuals are clear, accessible, and personalized.\r\n\r\nThis project has not just improved instruction—it has empowered my students to find their voices, academically and emotionally. Many of my learners rely heavily on visuals to communicate, participate, and stay engaged. Thanks to your support, students who once hesitated or withdrew are now showing more independence, confidence, and willingness to share their ideas. The right materials at the right moment have made all the difference.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped build a classroom environment that is inclusive, accessible, creative, and supportive—one where every student is given the tools and opportunities to grow. Thank you for believing in my students, for uplifting their voices, and for helping them show the world what they are truly capable of.","fullyFundedDate":1757099599459,"projectUrl":"project/print-their-potential-giving-mmsn-stude/9618361/","projectTitle":"Print Their Potential: Giving Mmsn Students a Voice","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ivy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9519937_orig.jpg?crop=757,757,x0,y128&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742530257353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9519937"},{"teacherId":4029839,"projectId":9641983,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your generous support of our classroom project.

It really is hard to believe how much growth and maturity has come to these kids in the first half of this school year alone - the program is that good and these kids are even better!\r\n\r\nIt comes with sacrifice however, and for the Class of 2026, that sacrifice is sleep. This cohort of Diploma candidates is starting school at 7:15 - the time some of their classmates are just getting out of bed. We've tried to take the sting out of that by setting up a little breakfast bar in one of our classrooms.\r\n\r\nThe kids had such fun setting things up - deciding where the creamers should go and whether the snacks and juices belonged in the same deawer or separate ones - and somehow the smell of freshly brewed coffee and tea in the morning make the sleepdeficit just slightly smaller (high protien snacks in the belly certainly help as well!). \r\n\r\nThis project was funded largely by parents.

Your kindness could not have come at a more important time. Many of our students are facing unprecedented financial challenges, and essentials that many people take for granted, such as feminine hygiene products, have become increasingly difficult for them to access consistently. When family budgets tighten, these necessities are often deprioritized, leaving students without what they need to feel secure and prepared for the school day.\r\n\r\nThanks to your contribution, we are now able to create a small, discreet hub within our classroom stocked with pads, tampons, and hygiene kits. This space will provide students with a reliable, judgment-free place to take what they need, when they need it. No student should have to miss class, feel embarrassed, or experience unnecessary stress because they lack basic supplies, and your generosity helps ensure they won't have to.\r\n\r\nYour support directly addresses period poverty, a barrier that disproportionately affects students from low-income families. By providing consistent access to these essential items, you are helping our students feel more comfortable and confident, allowing them to participate fully in their education. This project promotes wellness, dignity, and equity at a time when our school community needs stability more than ever.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your gift has an immediate and meaningful impact. Because of you, our students can stay in the classroom, focus on learning, and worry a little less about the hardships they may be facing at home.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and investing in their well-being.

Thanks to you, our students will now have reliable HD cameras, sturdy tripods, and high-capacity SD cards that allow them to clearly see their movements, reflect on their accuracy, and strengthen both their expressive and receptive skills. These resources will elevate everyday classroom assignments, from dialogues to storytelling projects, by providing steady, professional-quality footage they can truly learn from.\r\n\r\nYour gift will also extend far beyond daily lessons. Our after-school clubs will be able to create short films, cultural presentations, and school announcements that celebrate Deaf culture and share it with our peers, families, and the wider community.
