The students that could not afford to buy their own shoes had shoes. We were able to provide them with costumes and raise money by selling snacks to complete the rest of our needs. The first ever production was put on at Howe Middle School, and the staff, students, and parents could not have been more proud of the kids. I could not be more proud of their accomplishments. They were able to learn, memorize, and perform all the songs, dances, and lines. Only one of the students had ever been on stage before. The students were so thankful and excited when we got the shoes and materials. They also had SO much fun putting on the make-up.","fullyFundedDate":1775424088222,"projectUrl":"project/whoville-wishes/10147781/","projectTitle":"Whoville Wishes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Presutti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9744987_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726179782388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9744987"},{"teacherId":9610180,"projectId":9449935,"letterContent":"When my students first saw the gummy fruit snacks and fidget toys donated by you, their faces lit up with excitement! These small but meaningful resources have made a big difference in our daily classroom experience. My students now use the fidget toys during design challenges to help them focus and manage their energy while brainstorming and building prototypes. The fruit snacks have become a special incentive during our hands-on STEM and design projects—like when students design emergency shelters or create food truck business concepts.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped create a more positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere where every student feels supported and ready to learn. Our next step is to keep developing teamwork and problem-solving skills through our current MYP Design unit, where students are applying creativity and empathy to real-world challenges. Thanks to you, my students are learning that even small tools can make a big impact when it comes to innovation and collaboration!","fullyFundedDate":1752671495136,"projectUrl":"project/on-time/9449935/","projectTitle":"On time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Be","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9610180_orig.jpg?crop=1517,1517,x0,y288&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722026221541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610180"},{"teacherId":9610180,"projectId":8523185,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation of the Creality Falcon 10W Pro, our students are now experiencing real-world design and production in the classroom. This incredible piece of technology has transformed our makerspace into a mini design lab where students can take ideas from sketches to tangible products.\r\n\r\nIn our \"My Company, My Rules\" unit, students created their own companies, designed products, and then used the laser cutter to bring their ideas to life—engraving logos, cutting custom packaging, and even crafting keychains, signs, and simple tools. For many of our students, this was their first time working with professional-grade technology, and the moment their design was etched into wood or acrylic was nothing short of magic.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students? Seeing their digital work become something they can hold in their hands. One student, who normally shies away from group projects, became the go-to laser cutter expert—helping peers adjust their files and load materials. This kind of hands-on learning has not only taught technical skills but has boosted confidence and leadership in ways we didn't expect.\r\n\r\nThe Creality Falcon 10W Pro has made a lasting impact by turning abstract ideas into physical reality. It has helped our students see themselves as creators, problem-solvers, and even future entrepreneurs. Thank you for giving them the tools to design their future—literally.","fullyFundedDate":1725887544798,"projectUrl":"project/one-design-to-change-the-world/8523185/","projectTitle":"One Design to Change the World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Be","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9610180_orig.jpg?crop=1517,1517,x0,y288&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722026221541","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9610180"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134081","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":401,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":51.9,"schoolId":134081,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thomas Carr Howe Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thomas Carr Howe Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/indianapolis-public-school-district/thomas-carr-howe-middle-school/134081"}
