The iPad has already made a difference—whether it's helping a struggling reader with the text to speech feature, engaging reluctant learners through interactive reading programs, or allowing students to build independence with educational games tailored to their learning level. On behalf of my class, thank you for believing in my students' potential and making an incredible impact on their education.","fullyFundedDate":1749146241182,"projectUrl":"project/ipad-support-for-exceptional-learners/9376287/","projectTitle":"iPad Support for Exceptional Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guizar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10042655_orig.png?crop=706,706,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748471277086","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10042655"},{"teacherId":2685915,"projectId":9052484,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation that made it possible for our classroom to receive a high-quality air purifier. After the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area, our air quality was significantly affected, and your support came at a crucial time.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom has become a cleaner, healthier, and safer space for learning. The air purifier is running daily, filtering out harmful particles and reducing allergens and smoke residue that had lingered after the fires. My students—many of whom have asthma or other sensitivities—are breathing easier, missing fewer days of school, and staying more focused throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only improved our learning environment but also shown my students that there are people in the world who care deeply about their well-being and success.

My students in AP Art have been taking advantage of the portfolios and using them to carry around their artworks to and from home and school. These portfolios offer a lot of protection for their work and supplies. My AP students are taking their portfolio process very seriously and I think that there is a sense of pride as they carry their portfolios around campus. \r\nAs for the new pallets, they have been so helpful in all of the courses that I teach. Often we share pallets and these larger ones allow the students to mix paint and collaborate with each other. In the month of October we created paper mache alebrijes, and the students used the paint pallets to mix paint for their selected color schemes. It was great to see them helping each other out and mixing enough paint for their fellow classmates.\r\nOnce again thank you for your kind donations. Every item is being used and my students really do appreciate your kind donations as well. I hope that you all have a peaceful holiday season and a happy new year.","fullyFundedDate":1726365656586,"projectUrl":"project/art-on-the-go/8410551/","projectTitle":"Art on the Go!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2685915_orig.jpg?crop=508,508,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736742897712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jen-marquez"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99354","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":399,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.6,"schoolId":99354,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Los Angeles Renaissance Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Los Angeles Renaissance Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/torres-renaissance/99354"}
