Because of your contributions, our students didn't just practice for interviews, but also learn how to answer questions about themselves in a positive manner. We hosted various community volunteers who provided one-on-one, 15-minute interview blocks for our students. For many of our learners, this was their first time in a formal professional interaction. Having the folders and stationery allowed us to provide organized interview packets and rubrics, making the experience feel official and high-stakes.\r\n\r\nYou might wonder how something as simple as printer ink changes the learning dynamic. In a world that is increasingly digital, our students overlook the value of documents in print form. Your donation meant that every student, regardless of their financial situation at home, could print out their resumes and cover letters at no cost. The folders you provided allowed those documents to stay in their form, rather than crumbled-up paper that we see too often nowadays!\r\n\r\nWe also want to thank you for the snacks provided for our volunteers. Our community members gave their time freely, and being able to offer them a hospitable environment in the library kept the energy positive and the conversations productive throughout the day.","fullyFundedDate":1759628053406,"projectUrl":"project/future-ready-building-confidence-throug/9773412/","projectTitle":"Future Ready: Building Confidence Through Interviews","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Teraoka","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9196762"},{"teacherId":8626801,"projectId":9777489,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity.

Our camera center is now also fully functional. Instead of searching for cords or guides, students are spent their time creating.

They began to see quilting not just as tradition, but as something accessible and alive.\r\n\r\nNext, students are designing personal pencil pouches inspired by cultural patterns and family stories. We are also beginning small independent textile projects, where students combine hand-stitching and machine sewing to create functional art.
