The classroom organizers and markers helped us transform our science space into a calmer, more structured environment something that truly supports my learners' needs.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to see so many different scientists and were excited to learn about the variety of people who contribute to science. They loved recognizing names they had heard before and discovering new scientists, which sparked great conversations about curiosity, learning, and how anyone can become a scientist.\r\n\r\nThe motivational stickers have already made a big impact. Many of my students respond well to positive reinforcement, and seeing their effort celebrated with a sticker has boosted confidence, engagement, and excitement for learning. The snacks have also become part of our daily routine, helping students regulate, refocus, and feel ready to participate in class.\r\n\r\nNext, we look forward to using the board games and workbooks to build teamwork, practice problem-solving, and reinforce science skills.

Thanks to your support, our technology workshop has been fundamentally transformed into a focused, professional, and comfortable learning environment.\r\n\r\nDescribing the Impact of Your Contribution\r\nThe new ergonomic chairs and organization supplies haven't just replaced old, broken furniture; they have revolutionized the way our students approach their work.\r\n\r\nHow We Are Using the New Resources\r\n\r\nOur students are utilizing the resources daily, often for long periods of focused work that was previously uncomfortable or distracting.\r\n\r\n**The most immediate impact was during our recent Networking Troubleshooting Sprint. We task our TechTeam with diagnosing and fixing simulated (and sometimes real!) network bottlenecks. Before, students would fidget or stand up after 20 minutes, unable to concentrate while leaning over keyboards on wobbly stools.\r\n\r\nNow, with the comfortable, adjustable chairs, they can maintain focus for much longer. We watched one group spend over an hour meticulously tracing IP addresses and configuring subnets without a single break. The ability to adjust their seating position to match the height of our various workbenches is a game-changer for detailed hardware maintenance and cabling tasks. The new cleaning and storage supplies also ensure that our sensitive equipment—like network switches and server components—is always dust-free and organized, promoting longevity and responsible use of technology.\r\n\r\nStudent Reaction\r\n\r\nThe students' reaction was priceless. When they first walked into the room and saw the chairs lined up, their jaws dropped. They immediately sat down and started rolling around (safely, of course!), laughing at the comfort.\r\n\r\nThe most telling comment came from one of our most dedicated members, Jane, who said: \"Wow. These chairs make it feel like a real tech company. They actually care about us being comfortable.\"\r\n\r\nThis is the true, hidden impact: your donation sent a powerful message of validation. By providing professional-grade tools and furniture, you showed them that their work, their comfort, and their learning are highly valued. This feeling of professionalism has led to increased focus, pride in their space, and a greater sense of ownership over the tools and projects.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our TechTeam\r\n\r\nBuilding on the focused environment you helped create, our next major project is the development of a School Digital Signage System. This task requires extensive coding, content management, and deployment of Raspberry Pi devices across the campus—all demanding long hours of planning and execution in our newly comfortable lab.\r\n\r\nThe \"clear minds\" facilitated by our \"clean spaces\" mean we can tackle this complex, real-world project with improved efficiency and sustained concentration. Your investment has set the stage for our students to create a highly visible, permanent technology contribution to our school community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and empowering them to pursue excellence in technology!","fullyFundedDate":1759534644011,"projectUrl":"project/clean-spaces-clear-minds-new-chairs-an/9722588/","projectTitle":"Clean Spaces, Clear Minds: New Chairs and Supplies for Our TechTeam","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lipp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9219803"},{"teacherId":10110690,"projectId":9531736,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support on my Donorschoose project, \"Printerest: Streamlining Our Classroom Printing Needs\".

Students now have a consistent supply of quality notebooks, pencils, pens, and colorful markers, which has eliminated the frustration of running out of supplies mid-sentence. Recently, during our \"Personal Narratives\" unit, every student had their own crisp, new notebook dedicated solely to their writing journey. This allowed them to freely draft, revise, and illustrate their stories without worrying about space or messy pages. One student, who used to be hesitant to write, filled an entire notebook with adventures about their family pet, proudly showing off each page because they finally had the tools to bring their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nWhen the new boxes of supplies arrived, the students' eyes lit up! There was an immediate sense of excitement and ownership. Many children carefully picked out their favorite colored pens and pencils, arranging them neatly in their new pencil cases. This simple act of having their own fresh, quality materials instilled a sense of pride and readiness to learn. It wasn't just about the supplies; it was about feeling valued and prepared for the important work of writing.\r\n\r\nBuilding on the success of our personal narratives, our students are now transitioning to a persuasive writing project. They will be researching a topic they feel strongly about—such as the importance of recycling or why certain school rules should be changed—and then crafting arguments to convince their audience. Having a fresh supply of paper for brainstorming, outlines, and multiple drafts will be crucial for this complex writing task. Your support ensures they have every tool they need to articulate their thoughts powerfully and confidently.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' voices and helping them discover the joy and power of writing.","fullyFundedDate":1726795991335,"projectUrl":"project/write-because-its-right-providing-wri/8661087/","projectTitle":"Write Because It's Right - Providing Writing Materials for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cornelio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9640166"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50970","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1266,"numTeachers":79,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":50970,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Henry Perrine Baldwin High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Henry Perrine Baldwin High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/maui-school-district/henry-perrine-baldwin-high-school/50970"}
