As many of our light tables were from our old drafting shop (which was changed to the graphics shop in the late 80s), students hadn't felt as if the equipment they were using was current or relevant. Since the light tables had been showing signs for wear and tear, and were getting more difficult to fix/ replace some parts- I think you all came in handy when you did! The new light table is much more compact and has better storage options than the previous ones we had. They also look much more modern and inviting to students.\r\nThe desktop printer also replaced a very old and no longer usable printer. Students (and I) are finding the print quality to be a much better value than what we had in the past.\r\nAgain. Thank you all for your help and support. It is greatly appreciated in our shop.","fullyFundedDate":1746785999823,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-design-equipment/9126074/","projectTitle":"Graphic Design Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Volpacchio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9463296_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724966014103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9463296"},{"teacherId":9463296,"projectId":9339365,"letterContent":"The amazing generosity that you have shown us has been nothing but helpful to our students.\r\nStudents can now make the screens in a professional manner and follow the real steps of screen printing, mirrored by industry.\r\nThese past few weeks as we have been working with the new supplies, our shop was able to print t-shirts for one of our popular school community events.\r\nWith the details we are now able to produce, we were able to put our school logo on the front of the volunteer shirts!\r\nThe students who helped print, and the students who were able to wear the shirts, were so happy to represent the shop and the school to our community.
