Because of your contribution, our students now have access to professional tools like microphones, camera leashes, tripods, and gimbals—giving them hands-on experience in real-world video production. These resources have transformed our learning environment, allowing students to develop essential skills in filming, audio capture, and stabilization, all while fostering their creativity and confidence behind the camera.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in our classroom is palpable! Students are thrilled to experiment with the gimbal, discovering how smooth camera movement enhances storytelling. The tripod has become an essential tool for framing steady shots, while the microphone allows them to capture clear, professional-quality audio—something they now understand is just as important as the visuals. With these tools, our students are not just learning video production; they are telling their own stories in ways they never thought possible. Your generosity has truly made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1736444130884,"projectUrl":"project/student-video-production-equipment-for/8858929/","projectTitle":"Student Video Production Equipment: for Creative Learning and Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7786166_orig.jpg?crop=361,361,x108,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1702656794086","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7786166"},{"teacherId":7730136,"projectId":8956417,"letterContent":"While we have not started on this project yet, I have already been talking it up to my students. They are so excited to be able to make masks in the style of Mesoamerican art! I previewed the project, as well as showed them the supplies, and they cannot wait until May! This is going to be our end of the year project. The 6th graders were initially the students I was going to do this project with, but I added my 7th graders at the last minute. They studied Mesoamerica briefly at the beginning of the school year. After a year of hard work, they are very interested in creating some art to go along with what they have learned.\r\n\r\nThis school year has not been without challenges. Having projects to back up reading about a culture in history is exciting. This year alone, my World History students (6th grade) mummified tomatoes, created their own version of a Greek god or goddess and explored (virtually) the caves at Lascaux. American history has held their own version of the Salem Witch trials, ran campaigns for the election of 1800 and are now exploring the Oregon trail. We try to have fun while learning so that it is a memorable experience.","fullyFundedDate":1733257402477,"projectUrl":"project/mesoamerican-art-and-history/8956417/","projectTitle":"Mesoamerican Art and History","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7730136_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611329606301","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7730136"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107524","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":107524,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sarasota Military Academy Preparatory on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sarasota Military Academy Preparatory","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/sarasota-county-school-district/sarasota-military-academy-prep/107524"}
