Because of you, we now have a digital calendar that has already made a noticeable impact on how our students stay organized and engaged. In agriculture education, students are constantly balancing academics, FFA activities, SAE projects, and hands-on learning experiences. Having a centralized, visual way to keep track of important dates, deadlines, and events has helped them stay on top of their responsibilities and reduce stress.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is seeing students take more ownership of their time and commitments. They regularly check the calendar to stay informed about upcoming assignments, FFA events, and project deadlines. It has also improved communication in the classroom, as students feel more prepared and confident knowing what is ahead. This tool has been especially helpful for students who previously struggled with organization, giving them a clear and consistent system to follow.\r\n\r\nOverall, this project has strengthened our classroom environment by promoting responsibility, independence, and real-world skills. Your support is helping students build habits that will benefit them far beyond high school. We truly appreciate your investment in our program and our students' futures.","fullyFundedDate":1775506260049,"projectUrl":"project/a-digital-calendar-to-keep-our-ag-studen/9952545/","projectTitle":"A Digital Calendar to Keep Our Ag Students Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8903627_orig.jpg?crop=1491,1491,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671377552301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-anderson1"},{"teacherId":10172625,"projectId":9582620,"letterContent":"The Citrus Seamsters have been learning to sew. We've sewn together Jelly Roll Strips in order to make machine covers, that's next! The strips are great because the kiddos don't have to do additional cutting.\r\n\r\n We've also been working hard to help support Project Linus of Riverside by tying blankets. This helps kiddos earn community service hours as well as giving them joy for helping others. \r\n\r\n We've had quite a few backpack emergencies we sewed for kiddos. There was a blanket we helped for a staff member last week as well as a booty bag with a faulty strap. It's been challenging, but the funniest was a pair of Courderoy pants that were thread bare... We had to make them so the kiddo could get home without another blow out.

Because of your generosity, my classroom has transformed into a more engaging, hands-on learning environment where students are encouraged to think creatively, collaborate, and learn by doing. The moment students saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate—many asked, \"What are we building first?\" and \"Can we use these for our next project?\" That enthusiasm has carried directly into deeper engagement and stronger learning.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these resources in meaningful ways. Students are modeling scientific and engineering concepts using play dough, foam pieces, dominoes, and craft sticks, allowing them to physically build and visualize ideas rather than just hear about them. Clipboards, dry-erase sleeves, butcher paper, and highlighters have made it easier for students to work outside, collaborate in small groups, sketch designs, revise ideas, and problem-solve in real time. These tools have helped make lessons more interactive, accessible, and memorable—especially for students who learn best through hands-on and kinesthetic activities.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions has been the laser engraver enclosure, which allows students to safely explore design, prototyping, and creative problem-solving. Students are now beginning to design and plan projects that connect art, engineering, and real-world applications. Looking ahead, students will continue using these materials for design challenges, collaborative builds, modeling activities, and creative projects that connect classroom learning to real skills. Your support has made it possible to create lessons that students will remember long after they leave my classroom, and I am incredibly grateful for the impact you have made on their learning experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping bring creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning to life.","fullyFundedDate":1760672717805,"projectUrl":"project/creative-minds-at-work-tools-for-innova/9447598/","projectTitle":"Creative Minds at Work: Tools for Innovation, Art, and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8903627_orig.jpg?crop=1491,1491,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671377552301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-anderson1"},{"teacherId":8903627,"projectId":9190243,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students now have access to hands-on tools that allow them to bring their scientific and creative ideas to life through engraving and design. Since receiving the equipment, engagement in our agriculture and science classes has skyrocketed. Students are using the engraver to create personalized plant labels, custom signage for their school garden, and even laser-engraved components for their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects. This technology is helping bridge the gap between abstract classroom concepts and real-world application, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students the most is the opportunity to design and produce something tangible that reflects their interests and identity. One student, who previously struggled to participate, has now taken the lead on designing custom wooden signs for our FFA farm stand. Several others are collaborating on engraved artwork tied to sustainability and environmental awareness, blending science, art, and advocacy. This project has not only introduced them to modern tools and technical skills but has sparked confidence, collaboration, and new career interests.","fullyFundedDate":1746785446410,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-hands-on-learning-with-engravi/9190243/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Hands-On Learning with Engraving, Science, and Creative Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8903627_orig.jpg?crop=1491,1491,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1671377552301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-anderson1"},{"teacherId":9471344,"projectId":9044260,"letterContent":"Thank You for Supporting Wellness, Creativity, and CLASS at Citrus Hill!\r\n\r\nAs part of our ongoing efforts to support student wellness and build a positive school culture through our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) initiatives, Citrus Hill High School recently hosted a Mental Health Fair to spotlight self-care, connection, and kindness.\r\n\r\nOne of the highlights of the week was our Wellness Raffle, where students were invited to participate by writing a positive postcard—a heartfelt shout-out—to a teacher or staff member in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week. This simple but powerful act encouraged students to reflect on the value of gratitude and sparked a ripple effect of kindness and encouragement across our campus.\r\n\r\nSeveral students were randomly selected from the raffle and given the opportunity to invite a friend to attend our \"Paint with PBIS\" event, an afternoon dedicated to creativity, calm, and connection. This event provided a welcome break from the academic grind and allowed students to enjoy a relaxed environment where they could paint, chat, and recharge.\r\n\r\nAligned with our schoolwide PBIS motto, \"Have CLASS\"- which stands for Character, Leadership, Attitude, Scholarship, and Service-this experience reinforced the values we strive to instill every day. Students demonstrated Character by uplifting staff, Leadership by participating in campus culture-building events, Attitude through positivity and openness, Scholarship in balancing academics with mental wellness, and Service through peer support and kindness.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we were able to offer this experience at no cost to students. Many expressed how much they enjoyed the opportunity to step away from their routines, be creative, and connect meaningfully with friends. \r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1739212329678,"projectUrl":"project/paint-by-numbers-with-pbis/9044260/","projectTitle":"Paint By Numbers with PBIS","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dixon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471344"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30956","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1677,"numTeachers":86,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.5,"schoolId":30956,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Citrus Hill High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Citrus Hill High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/val-verde-unified-school-district/citrus-hill-high-school/30956"}
