Our new JBL EON ONE MK2 helped bring that experience to life, filling the space with music and creating an atmosphere that students were genuinely excited to be part of.\r\n\r\nOne of our goals has been to help students recognize that physical activity doesn't always have to look like traditional sports or structured exercise. Dancing is an incredible form of movement that supports cardiovascular health, encourages self-expression and provides a healthy outlet for stress. We had an opportunity to discuss these benefits with students and then watch them experience that connection firsthand.\r\n\r\nThe excitement throughout the evening was incredible. Students were dancing, laughing and connecting with one another. They enjoyed the experience so much that they began asking when we could host another evening event!\r\n\r\nFor our students, these moments matter. School can be demanding, and creating spaces where young people can release stress, feel connected and simply celebrate being together is an important part of supporting their overall well-being.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your generosity has given us more than a sound system. You've helped us create new opportunities for movement, wellness and joy that we look forward to continuing throughout the school year.","fullyFundedDate":1791935559593,"projectUrl":"project/move-together-building-confidence-throu/10674273/","projectTitle":"Move Together: Building Confidence Through Dance","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ellis Stephens Leadership Class","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7931743_orig.jpg?crop=4672,4672,x0,y498&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778088596169","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stephens-art"},{"teacherId":7931743,"projectId":10734653,"letterContent":"Our Community Calavera Painting Night came to life during our Food Drive and Lotería Night, and it was incredible seeing this project become exactly what our students imagined.\r\n\r\nFamilies spent the evening together painting the 3D printed calaveras our students created while enjoying Lotería and supporting our community food drive. Seeing tables filled with families painting, laughing, and making each calavera their own made all of the hours of printing worth it.\r\n\r\nWhat I loved most was seeing our students' creativity become something they could give back to others.

Students are learning real filmmaking skills while creating work that actually matters to our school.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using this equipment to record conversations about mental health and student wellness. Students are interviewing staff and members of our community. They are also creating videos that can be used during Compasswork and shared across our campus. Having better microphones has made a huge difference in the quality of our interviews. Our new tripod and camera equipment have also given students more freedom to be creative with how they film.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts has been watching students realize that filmmaking is about more than knowing how to use a camera. They are learning how to sit with someone and listen to their story. They are learning how to ask meaningful questions and think about how they want an audience to feel when they watch their work.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our student filmmakers.

We have already used our portable power station at a community event where we brought our equipment and photo setup out into the community. Having our own power means we can confidently participate in events even when electricity is not provided.\r\n\r\nWe have also been testing what this equipment can handle as we prepare for future student projects. Our students recently experimented with powering our automatic heat press directly from the power station, allowing us to see how we can bring student-designed apparel and other creative projects to events without needing an outlet or long extension cords. These real-world tests are helping students understand power usage, equipment management, and what it takes to plan a successful mobile setup.\r\n\r\nWe are now ready to put that learning into action. This November, our students will take this equipment to another community event where we can power our creative production setup independently. We are also preparing for Mexica New Year, where our students plan to operate a mobile photo lab and photo booth to document and celebrate the community.\r\n\r\nThis project has given our students more than a battery.

They are learning how to design for a purpose, prepare artwork for professional production, use our Roland equipment, problem-solve through the production process, and think about how their work can help other students feel represented and connected to their school.

Our Leadership students were absolutely ecstatic when they opened the Breeze 150 Air Cannon for the first time. For many of our students in East San José, opportunities like this are rare, and being trusted with professional-grade event equipment made them feel seen, valued, and empowered.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is that this is not just something they \"use,\" it is something they lead. Students are already brainstorming rally ideas, merchandise launches, spirit competitions, and ways to create unforgettable moments for their peers. They now see themselves as event coordinators, creators, and leaders responsible for building school culture.\r\n\r\nThis project has also created authentic learning opportunities connected to STEM, entrepreneurship, communication, and teamwork. Students discuss safety procedures, launch angles, crowd engagement, logistics, and merchandise planning while preparing for future rallies and events. The carrying case and additional CO₂ cartridges have allowed students to safely organize, transport, and maintain the equipment as part of the learning process.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful parts of this experience has been watching students who are normally quiet or hesitant become fully engaged and excited to participate. Students immediately gathered around the equipment asking questions, offering ideas, and volunteering to help lead future events. It created a sense of pride and ownership that is difficult to replicate in a traditional classroom setting.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students are not only creating high-energy school experiences, they are building confidence, leadership skills, and memories that will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1778005081396,"projectUrl":"project/launch-school-spirit-to-new-heights/10194718/","projectTitle":"Launch School Spirit to New Heights","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ellis Stephens Leadership Class","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7931743_orig.jpg?crop=4672,4672,x0,y498&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778088596169","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/stephens-art"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122497","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.9,"schoolId":122497,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP Navigate College Preparatory on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP Navigate College Preparatory","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/california-department-of-education/kipp-navigate-college-prep/122497"}
