My students have had a great time learning how to use our new 3D printer. \r\n\r\nSince many of my students require fidgets they have been focusing on printing different fidgets that they can use in the classroom. We have discovered many different options and they are deciding which are the best to use. \r\n\r\nWe are getting ready to complete our final projects for the school year and I imagine they will be using the printer to create items they need for their projects.","fullyFundedDate":1765856310572,"projectUrl":"project/learn-through-3d-printing/9960006/","projectTitle":"Learn through 3D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Noffsinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5355803_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524890042675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/noffy"},{"teacherId":9226713,"projectId":9932902,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for giving me the money to buy new wireless Vernier conductivity probes. The previous ones we had no longer worked and gave inaccurate readings. These new probes are always accurate and are really easy to use. My favorite lab that we have used them so for is the Murder Mystery Lab. The lab uses a fake story where a murder happens at cookie factory where an ingredient has become contaminated. The students used the conductivity probes, hot plates for melting, and their knowledge of ionic and covalent compounds to determine which ingredient was \"contaminated\". (In reality, I mixed salt into the sugar so that the sugar was \"contaminated\".) Students had fun testing the different chemicals to see which was \"contaminated\" and reading profiles of suspects to determine who might have been the killer. We also will use the probes in the future for an identifying the unknown chemical lab.\r\n\r\nThe students were very happy to have these probes. We had done a lab at the beginning of the year where they were trying to determine what ingredient in Gatorade made it an electrolyte. The lab was a disappointment, because the old conductivity probes were giving incorrect reading for everything. The students did not learn what they were supposed to because of the incorrect readings. This lab will work much better next year because of your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1764536914387,"projectUrl":"project/what-is-the-scientific-difference-betwee/9932902/","projectTitle":"What is the Scientific Difference Between Salt and Sugar?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9226713_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764534838380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9226713"},{"teacherId":5355803,"projectId":9957169,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to this project. My students have really been enjoying the process of learning how to budget.\r\n\r\nMy students are excited every day when the \"class store\" opens and they can purchase a snack or drink.

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to digital microscopes and digital scales that have significantly elevated the way they learn, explore, and investigate science.\r\n\r\nMy students are curious, hands-on learners who thrive when they can see, touch, and explore the world around them. When these new tools arrived, their excitement was immediate. Students were eager to use the microscopes to explore details they had never been able to see clearly before and were fascinated by how precise measurements from the digital scales improved their experiments. These resources made science feel more real, more engaging, and more meaningful.\r\n\r\nIn Biology, students are using the digital microscopes to observe cells, tissues, and microscopic organisms with clarity. Being able to clearly see structures rather than imagine them has deepened their understanding of how living systems work and sparked thoughtful questions and discussions.\r\n\r\nIn Physics, the digital scales have allowed students to collect accurate mass data during labs and experiments. This has strengthened their ability to analyze results, recognize sources of error, and understand the importance of precision in scientific investigations.\r\n\r\nIn Forensics, students are combining both microscopes and scales to closely examine evidence, analyze data, and practice explaining their findings through written reports. These experiences help them think critically, connect science to problem-solving, and communicate like real investigators.\r\n\r\nIn Technology Student Association (TSA), these tools are supporting students as they design and build competition projects. Accurate measurements and detailed observations help ensure their designs are data-driven, precise, and innovative.\r\n\r\nThese resources have done more than support experiments—they have built student confidence, encouraged persistence, and strengthened critical thinking skills across all STEM disciplines. Because of you, my students are learning how science works in the real world and gaining skills that will support them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools to discover, explore, and create. Your support is helping prepare them for bright futures in STEM.","fullyFundedDate":1763258951461,"projectUrl":"project/stem-in-focus-digital-tools-for-student/9789501/","projectTitle":"STEM in Focus: Digital Tools for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McClurg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6050034_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1571500216136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6050034"},{"teacherId":6050034,"projectId":9896566,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students are experiencing science in a way that feels real, meaningful, and empowering. These supplies have transformed our forensic science classroom into an active investigation space where students don't just learn about STEM concepts—they apply them like real scientists.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new resources daily through hands-on forensic investigations. One of the most impactful moments came during our toxicology unit, when students used the chemical testing kits to analyze simulated samples and interpret their results. They carefully followed procedures, debated their findings, and made evidence-based conclusions—just like forensic chemists. In another lesson, students dusted for fingerprints using the new brushes and powders, comparing ridge patterns and learning how biology, chemistry, and observation work together to identify individuals. These activities sparked deep discussions and genuine curiosity that simply isn't possible with worksheets alone.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reaction was immediate excitement. They asked questions like, \"Is this what real investigators use?\" and \"Can we try this today?\" Seeing professional-quality tools made them feel trusted and capable. Many students who are usually quiet became more engaged, confident, and eager to participate because they were working with real equipment and solving authentic problems.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support deeper learning. Students are beginning a full mock crime scene investigation where they will collect fingerprint evidence, analyze biological samples, use UV light to locate hidden clues, and apply forensic entomology concepts to estimate time of death. With our 3D printer filament, students are also designing and printing forensic tools and models, strengthening their engineering, technology, and problem-solving skills. These lessons build not only content knowledge, but also collaboration, persistence, and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nI love how my students dive into STEM learning with curiosity, persistence, and a genuine desire to understand the world around them. My forensic science students especially shine when they can connect scientific concepts to real investigations. They are hardworking, kind, and eager to learn—exactly the kind of students who deserve hands-on STEM experiences.\r\n\r\nEvery resource you provided directly supports real-world STEM learning. Because of you, my students are thinking like scientists, analyzing evidence, solving problems, and building confidence in their abilities. Thank you for giving them the opportunity to experience science in a way that feels relevant, exciting, and truly transformative.","fullyFundedDate":1763674500451,"projectUrl":"project/stem-meets-forensics-hands-on-investiga/9896566/","projectTitle":"STEM Meets Forensics: Hands-On Investigation Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McClurg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6050034_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1571500216136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6050034"},{"teacherId":9226161,"projectId":9739366,"letterContent":"Thank you again for supporting my project this year! All of the items have gotten so much use, especially the lamps and phones for translations. The scissors, pencils, and whiteboards have also gotten good every-day use. I'd like to especially highlight those two most used items in this update to you all.\r\n\r\nThe lamps were a hit from day one! Students love them for several reasons, one of which is that they're just fun. Being able to change the colors with just a touch has made the lamps super accessible and useable for the students. On a normal work day, students use their lamps to ask for help or let me know how they're doing. Green means good, blue means we're struggling but still trying, purple means they're ready for some help from me, and red means they've been waiting for a while and are very stuck. This helps me keep on top of the needs of my students much better, as I don't have to remember every hand that has been raised or every verbal request for help. It also allows students to monitor their own progress.\r\n\r\nWe also use the lamps as indicators of readiness and for progress monitoring. If a list of supplies is needed for the day, students will turn their lamps green only when *all* of the people at their table are ready to go. This has helped students work together with their groups together as a unit when preparing to begin a task or activity. The lamps are also very fun for \"races\" when students are asked, as a group, to move through a task to get to each checkpoint as quickly as possible. Groups who are lagging tend to focus when they see the lamps around them turning colors!\r\n\r\nIn the same theme of student empowerment, the phones you provided for use during translation have really helped my English newcomers to feel ready to engage with the work. Sometimes they use these devices to communicate with the other people at their table. Other times they are using them to take pictures of a document that I was unable to pre-translate. They also use the phones to translate their answers in real-time from their home language into English so that I can check for understanding in real-time. It's been so helpful that students have asked me if they could take the phones for use in other classes. While I haven't been able to allow that, I can advocate for my students and recommend a tool for them to use when interacting with their counselor and their other teachers.\r\n\r\nAs always, the items provided to me during a Donor's Choose campaign like this one are invaluable and I couldn't have given them to my students without you!

The league-approved baseballs you provided have already made a tremendous difference in the way our students train each day.\r\n\r\nThe moment the baseballs arrived, our players immediately put them to work in a structured skills-development practice. One of our first sessions (off season) was a defensive-drill circuit focused on ground-ball reads, quick transfers, and accurate throws. Before this project, we often had to limit the number of stations because we simply didn't have enough baseballs to keep drills moving. Now, the players rotate quickly, stay engaged, and get more meaningful touches during every off season practice. The pace, energy, and quality of instruction have all improved.\r\n\r\nDuring our first full field practice with the new baseballs, one of our freshmen, who is usually very quiet, looked around at the buckets filled with brand-new baseballs and said, \"Coach... it finally feels like we're a real team.\" His teammates nodded and smiled. It was a moment of pride that came directly from having the tools they deserve.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was instant. Students were opening boxes, testing the grip, and tossing balls back and forth before practice even began. Their faces said everything: joy, validation, and a renewed sense of motivation. They treated the equipment with respect because they knew it came from people who believe in them.\r\n\r\nBecause we now have consistent, reliable equipment, our team is beginning a new set of skill-building units focused on fielding mechanics, batting timing, and situational play. We're also planning to integrate more competitive practice stations so students can build confidence in real game moments. These baseballs will carry us through the season, helping every player grow stronger, more prepared, and more connected to their team.\r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't just supply equipment; it gave our students pride, opportunity, and the message that their hard work matters. Thank you for believing in them and helping them continue to rise.","fullyFundedDate":1756358255613,"projectUrl":"project/every-pitch-counts-baseballs-for-our-se/9624867/","projectTitle":"Every Pitch Counts: Baseballs for Our Season","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dopler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4331450_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488493150318","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dopler"},{"teacherId":9633937,"projectId":9679925,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my geology students at Northglenn High School.

With new streak plates, scratch plates, markers, and classroom tools, my students can now test mineral properties with accuracy and confidence.\r\n\r\nWhen they first opened the boxes, the excitement was immediate. Students passed around the new materials, comparing the feel and look of the plates, and could not wait to start testing their mineral samples. During our first lab, the room was filled with curiosity and laughter as they recorded their results and debated which minerals were harder or softer. The new posters and globe have also made our space more inviting and have helped students connect geology to larger Earth and space systems.\r\n\r\nOur next project will challenge students to apply what they have learned by identifying rocks and mapping Colorado's geologic regions. These experiences are helping them think like real scientists and discover new confidence in their abilities. At a school where many students face economic barriers, your donation has provided meaningful opportunities for them to engage deeply with science and see their potential.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping make their learning come alive.","fullyFundedDate":1757886137447,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-geology-exploring-earth-with-n/9679925/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Geology: Exploring Earth with New Tools at NGHS","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Avery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9633937_orig.png?crop=1058,1058,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756945383736","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9633937"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41244","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1844,"numTeachers":96,"percentFrplEligible":75,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.0,"schoolId":41244,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northglenn High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northglenn High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/adams-12-five-star-schools/northglenn-high-school/41244"}
