We have some niche camera lenses that happen to be best suited for wide angles and/or low lighting.\r\nBut this journalism class is determined to be as professional as possible and cover all aspects of campus life, which means covering our extraordinary and diverse student community.\r\nTo do that, we needed lenses that can capture photos of all the news that happens on campus, whether it's a sporting event, a new club meeting for the first time, a student protest, a pep rally, student art shows, and everything in between. You provided these five new camera lenses which are more multi-functional, rather than only good for niche settings. These lenses will help my journalism students best show the world the important things happening on our campus every single day. These lenses will be serving this journalism class, and many, many more in the future, especially as we start adding in print journalism in addition to our online publication. Pictures tell a thousand words, and these lenses will help students do just that!\r\nMy multimedia editor had this to say: \"The lenses you've provided for our classroom allow our students to take photos with proper equipment and has enhanced our publication as a whole. These lenses will help to foster future interaction with our class, and help teach our students how to use cameras, and hopefully encourage them to follow photography outside of the classroom.\" \r\nMy students value the role of the free press in society and recognize its importance in holding people in power accountable and reflecting stories of everyone on campus while learning valuable skills that can be applied outside of the classroom and will serve them as they head off to college and into their future careers. They are a wonderful bunch who are socially conscious, kind, and extremely hard-working. Thank you for giving them your support with this funding!","fullyFundedDate":1770091233919,"projectUrl":"project/through-the-looking-glass-journalism-cl/10079020/","projectTitle":"Through the Looking Glass: Journalism Class Needs New Camera Lenses!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Savio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1653167_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y362&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770096247483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1653167"},{"teacherId":10426749,"projectId":10078099,"letterContent":"This project has made a big impact on our classroom by giving students the tools they need to fully participate in our project-based learning environment. While some donors may think of these items as simple supplies, they function like essential learning technology in our classroom by supporting collaboration, problem solving, and real-time thinking.\r\nDry erase markers and whiteboards allow students to work through ideas together, test strategies, and revise their thinking immediately. Instead of working alone on paper, they can share their thinking with their group, explain their reasoning, and learn from one another. This kind of visible thinking builds confidence and deeper understanding.\r\nThe supplies like pencils, glue sticks, and project materials are especially exciting for students because they allow them to create real products from their ideas. Whether they are designing models, organizing research, or building presentations, students take pride in producing work they can see and share.\r\nThe snacks and basic classroom essentials have also made a meaningful difference. Students who may not have reliable access to food or supplies at home are able to quietly get what they need and stay focused. I've seen students who were previously disengaged become more comfortable participating simply because they feel supported and prepared.\r\nOverall, these resources help create a classroom where every student can contribute, collaborate, and focus on learning without worrying about whether they have the materials they need. Your support has helped make our classroom more inclusive, engaging, and ready for every learner.","fullyFundedDate":1770054615287,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-thinkers-makers-and-probl/10078099/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Thinkers, Makers, and Problem Solvers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Willy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10426749_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770054151978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10426749"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40000","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2075,"numTeachers":84,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":85.6,"schoolId":40000,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dos Pueblos High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dos Pueblos High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/santa-barbara-unified-school-district/dos-pueblos-high-school/40000"}
