The new decorations, signage, and displays have made the library more inviting and inspiring. Students now gather here before school, during lunch, and after class — turning the space into a vibrant hub for reading, creativity, and connection.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, their reactions were priceless — many said, \"It looks like a bookstore!\" and couldn't stop taking pictures by the neon book signs. Teachers shared that their classes were more eager to visit and participate in library activities, and our Media Creators Club quickly got to work designing themed book displays and helping decorate for each month's focus.\r\n\r\nNext, our students are planning a winter-themed reading corner and a \"Books & Belonging\" display highlighting stories that reflect their identities and cultures. Your support has truly helped us create a place where reading feels exciting, inclusive, and full of possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1746787117684,"projectUrl":"project/reviving-our-library-a-new-chapter-for/9103510/","projectTitle":"Reviving our Library: A New Chapter For Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blanco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5995104_orig.jpg?crop=957,957,x298,y473&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738933940373","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5995104"},{"teacherId":10005505,"projectId":9279981,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping bring From Ordinary to Extraordinary: A Library of Heroes to life.

Your thoughtful contribution has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and, more importantly, in the lives of our students. The iPad has become an essential tool for supporting emotional regulation, providing a calming and accessible outlet when students feel overwhelmed or stressed in the workplace. By watching videos, mindfulness content, and calming visuals and sounds , students have found a safe and effective way to regain emotional balance, allowing them to refocus and continue developing their skills with confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond emotional support, the iPad has also been a powerful resource in helping students build practical employability skills. They've been using it to create resumes, search for jobs, explore career options, and learn about expectations in various work environments. It's also been a valuable classroom tool for instruction, visual learning, and interactive practice. Your donation has truly enhanced their learning experience and opened up new opportunities for growth, independence, and success.

Your generosity has made a tremendous difference in our classroom, especially for students like the one pictured, who uses the iPad to navigate her social-emotional needs. She struggles with anger management and has found the iPad to be an essential tool for calming exercises, visual prompts, and expressing her emotions through digital art and journaling apps.\r\n\r\nMany of our students have access to technology at home but often use it passively, such as for games or entertainment. In our classroom, the iPads are being used intentionally to teach self-regulation, emotional awareness, and academic skills. The ability to engage with customized apps designed for their specific needs has been transformative. Students who were previously hesitant to communicate are now using the iPads to share their thoughts, manage their emotions, and participate more actively in lessons.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the classroom has been contagious! Students are especially drawn to the creative features of the iPads, such as using drawing apps to create emotion wheels or engaging in mindfulness activities with interactive tools. One student, in particular, who was previously nonverbal during group activities, has started to engage by using the iPad to type out his responses and share them with his peers. It's heartwarming to see how this technology is opening doors to new ways of learning and self-expression.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting their growth. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1727644796937,"projectUrl":"project/empower-your-voice-ipads-for-emotional/8817833/","projectTitle":"Empower Your Voice: iPads for Emotional Expression","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Mendez-Londono","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9776510"},{"teacherId":9796452,"projectId":8863190,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous support in providing an iPad for our classroom. This incredible tool has opened up new opportunities for my 18-22-year-old students with autism in our STEPS program, which focuses on supporting their transition to adulthood.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been instrumental in enhancing our mindfulness practices. My students use it to engage with guided meditation apps, calming music, and visual timers that help regulate emotions and manage stress. These resources have made a noticeable difference in their ability to focus, self-regulate, and transition between activities smoothly.\r\n\r\nFor example, one of my students, who often struggled with anxiety, has found great comfort in using a mindfulness app that guides breathing exercises. The visual and auditory cues on the iPad have made it easier for them to participate and benefit from these exercises, leading to a more peaceful and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nBeyond mindfulness, the iPad has also been a valuable tool for enhancing communication and life skills. Apps that support visual schedules and task management are helping my students gain independence and confidence as they prepare for life beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly made a difference in the lives of my students, and I cannot thank you enough. Your kindness reminds us all of the power of community and the importance of supporting each other.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping create a space where they can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1728314608177,"projectUrl":"project/mindful-moments/8863190/","projectTitle":"Mindful Moments","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delauz Lugaro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9796452_orig.jpg?crop=2187,2187,x322,y897&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736894219867","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9796452"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66325","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":3399,"numTeachers":131,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.9,"schoolId":66325,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coral Reef Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coral Reef Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/coral-reef-senior-high-school/66325"}
