The safety and privacy of our students are at the heart of everything we do. In today's schools, it is essential to ensure that sensitive information remains secure—not only to meet legal and ethical standards, but also to build trust with the families we serve.\r\n\r\nLocking cabinets serve as a simple yet powerful tool in achieving this goal. By providing secure storage, they prevent unauthorized access by staff, students, or visitors, while ensuring that only designated personnel can access confidential documents. This measure allows us to safeguard student privacy and comply with important policies that protect children and their families.\r\n\r\nYour generous support will allow us to equip our school with locking storage units in key areas where sensitive student information is handled. With these cabinets, we can create a safe and trustworthy environment where families know their children's records are protected. This project is more than just about storage—it's about respect, responsibility, and reinforcing the confidence that families place in our school.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a more secure and supportive learning environment for all students. Your contribution will have a lasting impact on our community.","fullyFundedDate":1746704982309,"projectUrl":"project/safe-sound-protecting-confidential-re/9327244/","projectTitle":"Safe & Sound: Protecting Confidential Records in Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rosignoli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9819017"},{"teacherId":8471059,"projectId":9289225,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, this project has made a profound difference in my classroom—especially for my visually impaired student, who inspired the project in the first place. The additional screen and lighting have created a more accessible and comfortable learning environment, giving him the tools he needs to engage with content in a way that works best for him.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors may use technology at home, but in the classroom, it serves a different and deeply purposeful role. For my students, especially those with visual impairments or learning differences, technology is not just a convenience—it's a gateway to equity. The dual-screen setup allows my student to enlarge text on one screen while referencing materials or assignments on the other. This kind of access is something most students and adults may take for granted, but for him, it means independence, confidence, and greater participation.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for my students is how these tools open up new possibilities for learning. Being able to adjust text size, contrast, and brightness—paired with appropriate lighting—makes content accessible in real time. For a student who is both visually impaired and color blind, this is a game-changer. He now approaches tasks that once felt overwhelming with curiosity and confidence.\r\n\r\nMost touching has been his enthusiasm for beginning to learn braille. With your help, we now have the resources to start this journey together. His grandmother's concern about his future has turned into hopeful conversations about what's next, and I am learning braille right alongside him. This has fostered a beautiful partnership between teacher and student that goes beyond the curriculum.\r\n\r\nYour contribution hasn't just provided tools—it's provided dignity, independence, and a sense of belonging. It sends a clear message to all of my students: everyone deserves the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of that message.","fullyFundedDate":1746636332468,"projectUrl":"project/aiding-the-vision/9289225/","projectTitle":"Aiding the Vision","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall/Suggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8471059_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y149&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733789829417","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8471059"},{"teacherId":9613024,"projectId":9282010,"letterContent":"The impact on my students with funding from this grant cannot even be related into words! Our school, being a behavioral based alternative school struggles with keeping the students engaged and keeping them on the path to graduate. Our younger students have had to carry a lot on their young shoulders, far more than anyone should have to at their age.

Your support has made an incredible difference in ways we hadn't even anticipated when the school year began.\r\n\r\nShortly before the start of the year, our school underwent a significant consolidation with another district school, which left us with limited classroom space and very few storage options. The arrival of these cabinets could not have come at a better time. Thanks to your donation, we now have a safe, organized place for our classroom materials—a luxury we didn't expect but desperately needed.\r\n\r\nBeyond keeping our materials secure and out of the way, the added storage has had a powerful impact on our daily routines. The cabinetry has helped transform our small learning environment into a space that feels calm, structured, and purposeful. Students now have designated places for their supplies, including personalized binders stored on our green rolling cart. This has encouraged a new sense of accountability and routine, especially for students who are still developing their organizational skills.","fullyFundedDate":1746526818536,"projectUrl":"project/cabinets-for-compliance-confidentiality/9319715/","projectTitle":"Cabinets for Compliance, Confidentiality & Coursework","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Domingue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9613024_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y409&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745332355459","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9613024"},{"teacherId":9889166,"projectId":9037492,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our science classroom has been transformed into an engaging, hands-on learning environment where complex biological concepts come to life for our students every day. The new anatomical models and visual resources have been instrumental in helping students grasp abstract ideas by providing tangible, real-world representations. One memorable project involved students working in small groups to trace the path of food through the digestive system using the human torso and stomach models. This hands-on activity allowed them to go beyond memorization and truly understand each stage of digestion. In another lesson, students compared plant and animal cells using detailed diagrams and 3D models, which inspired them to create their own clay replicas—an activity that sparked both creativity and deepened understanding.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless. Many were wide-eyed with excitement, and one student exclaimed, \"This is like a real lab!\" The models sparked curiosity and turned our classroom into a dynamic space of inquiry and exploration. These tools have made science feel more accessible and enjoyable for all of my students.\r\n\r\nThese resources will be used for many years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1739543559142,"projectUrl":"project/life-begins-with-science/9037492/","projectTitle":"Life Begins With Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tuning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9889166"},{"teacherId":8471059,"projectId":9231975,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support of our project, Securing the Goods: Resources and Reassurance, our classroom is now a more secure, flexible, and inspiring place to learn!\r\n\r\nBecause of you, we've been able to install locking cabinets that help us protect the incredible technology you've already helped provide—a 3D printer, desktop, laptop, and printer. These cabinets are more than just storage solutions; they've brought peace of mind to my students, who now feel reassured that their hard work and our shared learning tools are safe and organized. It's made a real difference in how we manage our resources and how students approach their projects with confidence.\r\n\r\nOne especially impactful addition has been the standing desk. Several of my students, who've shown great dedication in mastering the 3D printer, now have the option to work while standing—a small change that's made a big difference. For students with special abilities, having the freedom to move and work in a way that suits their needs has encouraged even more engagement and independence.\r\n\r\nThe improvements to our classroom environment go beyond the physical space.

This technology helps my students learn by making abstract concepts more tangible. Whether it's visualizing geometry through printed shapes or designing functional objects as part of a life skills project, the 3D printer allows students to interact with their lessons in a highly engaging and meaningful way. It encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, all while accommodating different learning styles and abilities.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the 3D printer is the ability to bring their ideas to life. There's a real sense of ownership and pride when they see something they designed come out of the printer as a real, physical object. It transforms the classroom into a space where imagination meets reality. For many students, especially those who struggle with traditional learning methods, this hands-on experience helps build confidence and a deeper connection to their learning.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who previously had difficulty engaging in class activities, has truly blossomed with the introduction of this technology. He quickly took interest in the design software, taught himself how to use it, and now enthusiastically helps his peers with their projects. The 3D printer has given him a platform to shine and a reason to be excited about coming to class. His growth has been an inspiring reminder of how the right tools can unlock potential in ways we never imagined.","fullyFundedDate":1742905530018,"projectUrl":"project/ms-halls-replica-realms-through-3-d-pr/9120776/","projectTitle":"Ms. Hall's Replica Realms Through 3-D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall/Suggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8471059_orig.jpg?crop=1284,1284,x0,y149&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733789829417","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8471059"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66038","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":94,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"3.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.3,"schoolId":66038,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Horizons Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Horizons Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/bay-county-school-district/new-horizons-learning-ctr/66038"}
