My students are incredibly grateful for new equipment and classroom materials as they do not receive new materials very often. \r\n\r\nMy Physical Education classes have already had the opportunity to enjoy the use of the floor hockey pucks, the new badminton birdies, the softball gloves, and even the Samsung tablet. Being able to have a portable device to bring to PE classes has been very helpful when wanting to show videos to the class prior to a new sport or activity. \r\n\r\nMy English class has been enjoying the ability to each have their own whiteboards to write on.

Because of your generosity, our classroom received heavy body acrylic paint, new drawing paper, and USB SD card adapters. These supplies arrived at the perfect time — we were putting in serious hours in the studio, and the new materials immediately assited the quality of student work. The fresh drawing paper allowed students to create more detailed and refined pieces, while the heavy body acrylics gave their paintings richer color, texture, and a more professional finish.\r\n\r\n The impact was great as students were excited to use the new supplies, experiment, and push their ideas further. Several painting students used these materials to submit work to the Maui County Fair Art Show, where we were able to earn awards for Best in Show, First Place (11th–12th grade), and Third Place (11th–12th grade). Watching their reactions when they realized they had won was a moment I won't forget.\r\n\r\n Thanks to your donation, our students now have the tools to continue growing as artists. We're continuing to build drawing and painting skills, develop new compositions, and prepare future work for exhibition in our school and community. Your support didn't just provide supplies — it gave young artists the opportunity to believe in their own creative potential. Thank you for being part of that journey.","fullyFundedDate":1759271832287,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-creativity-paint-paper-ph/9773538/","projectTitle":"Capturing Creativity: Paint, Paper, & Photo Tech for Our Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ross","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9224045_orig.jpg?crop=695,695,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693002933949","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9224045"},{"teacherId":7936179,"projectId":9776427,"letterContent":"We have been so excited to get our new books and pens.
