Because of your kindness, our classroom received a popcorn machine and a projector—two exciting additions that have already made a big difference for our Leadership students and school community.\r\n\r\nThe popcorn machine has quickly become a favorite fundraising tool. Our Leadership students have used it to run successful popcorn sales during school events, spirit days, and lunchtime fundraisers. Not only has it helped us raise money for future activities, but it has also taught students valuable lessons in budgeting, marketing, teamwork, and responsibility. Watching them take ownership of these events has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThe projector has enhanced our ability to present ideas, plan events, and communicate with the student body. From showcasing campaign speeches to running planning meetings and promoting upcoming activities, it's made our events more engaging and visually dynamic.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, students are more motivated, involved, and empowered to lead.

Because of your support, we were able to obtain a much-needed printer, and it has already made a tremendous impact on both my Math and Leadership classes.\r\n\r\nIn my Math class, having immediate access to printed materials has made daily instruction more efficient and engaging. I've been able to quickly print out worksheets, graphic organizers, and student reference sheets to reinforce key concepts. This has allowed students to focus more on their learning rather than waiting for resources or copying problems off the board. It has also made differentiation easier—I can provide customized resources on the spot for students who need extra support or additional challenges.\r\n\r\nIn our Leadership class, the printer has truly been a game changer. My students have been able to create and print campaign flyers, event posters, and newsletters to promote school-wide initiatives. Whether it was organizing spirit week, leading a community service project, or running for student council, students were able to bring their ideas to life and share them with the school in a professional, creative way. It's amazing to see how something as simple as printing their designs can boost their confidence and sense of ownership.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more vibrant, organized, and student-centered learning environment.

This allows me to create clear, organized, and color-coded notes as we work through problems together. After each class, I share these annotated handouts digitally through our school's learning management system (LMS), so all students—especially those who are absent—can access the same material from home.\r\n\r\nThis technology helps students learn by giving them a consistent and visually engaging resource to review. The color coding helps highlight key concepts, steps, and common mistakes, making it easier for students to understand and retain the material. Even students who struggle with note-taking or staying focused during class benefit from having these high-quality notes available at any time on their computer or device.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this approach makes learning more accessible, organized, and flexible for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1743561842966,"projectUrl":"project/boosting-algebra-with-digital-tools-org/9082291/","projectTitle":"Boosting Algebra with Digital Tools: Organized, Colorful Notes for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9909101"},{"teacherId":2469763,"projectId":7927972,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our class project.

Now, students can print their work right in the classroom, which gives them one less thing to worry about and helps level the playing field for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe ability to print in class has encouraged students to take more ownership of their learning. They're able to see their work in a physical format, which helps with editing, annotating, and preparing final versions of projects and essays. Several students have even taken the initiative to help peers format and revise their work before printing, turning the printer into a collaborative tool.\r\n\r\nThe printer may seem like a small addition, but in our classroom, it's a powerful tool that supports equity, responsibility, and pride in one's work.

The equipment we received makes everything so much more enjoyable for them when we are practicing and they look forward to our practice. Everything thankfully arrived with time so we have been getting the most of everything. Their reaction when they saw the equipment we had received was priceless since you can see their inner child come out through their excitement.
