I find myself often wishing I could get my students out of the city and into nature (something I hope to make happen in the coming years!), but in the meantime, I work to bring nature to my students. My classroom is the drab tan concrete cinder blocks you often see in schools, but one of my walls is absolutely bursting with life, and you helped make this happen. It may seem like a small thing, but I believe the environment in my classroom makes it a more welcoming place for students to learn.\r\n\r\nMy students have potential to be world-changers but complexities that surround poverty create obstacles to them realizing that potential.

Your donation of the sublimation printer for my students has enhanced their creativity, technical skills, and overall learning experience. Having a Sublimation printer in our school has allowed students to transform their artistic designs into vibrant, high-quality products. They now have the ability to print on a variety of materials, including fabrics, ceramics, and metals. This is encouraging them to think outside the box, experiment with colors, and develop their own unique styles.\r\n Utilizing the sublimation printer is allowing me to introduce students to essential technical skills that are increasingly valuable in today's job market. They learn about design software, color management, and printing techniques, which are crucial in various fields, including graphic design, marketing, and manufacturing. These skills not only enhance their resumes but also empower them to pursue further education or careers in creative industries.\r\nHaving our own Sublimation printer allows students to create products that can be sold, such as custom apparel or promotional items for school events. This aspect of entrepreneurship teaches them valuable lessons in marketing, finance, and business management. \r\nThank you for your generous donation.\r\nSincerely,\r\nLakesha Calhoun, Media Specialist","fullyFundedDate":1734712123105,"projectUrl":"project/sublimation-printing-where-imagination/8763837/","projectTitle":"\"Sublimation Printing: Where Imagination Meets Innovation\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Calhoun","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696693_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714412595522","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696693"},{"teacherId":1758157,"projectId":8753490,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students, I want to sincerely thank you for your funding to our project, \"STEAM in Print.\"\r\n\r\nThis initiative is crucial as it offers my students engaging opportunities to turn their imaginative ideas into real-life creations.
