The TV has been perfect addition to enhance the workout experience for our students.\r\n The new TV was installed in front of the treadmills in the fitness center. The reason we put it in front of the treadmills is because running or walking on the treadmills can be tough when their is nothing to look at or pay attention too. The TV helps students stay on the treadmills looker because they have something to watch. This in turn is improving the overall fitness of our students.\r\n Our special education students have, in particular, really enjoyed the addition of the TV to the fitness room. They are excited to watch their favorite programs while they get their exercise. It keeps them engaged in their workout and benefits their long term health at the same time.\r\n Thanks DonersChoose for this donation!","fullyFundedDate":1733277335164,"projectUrl":"project/workout-viewing-pleasure/8923282/","projectTitle":"Workout Viewing Pleasure","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Youde","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9827966"},{"teacherId":9823449,"projectId":8914794,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for the generous donations that contributed to my students being able to share their speaking and singing talents with their school and community. The large speaker and high-quality microphone are exactly what they needed to demonstrate their talents throughout this school year. \r\n\r\nThe microphone has allowed my students to podcast about current news events. Throughout my classroom and Speech program, students have been using the new microphone to be creative in their podcasting. No longer do we have to worry about the 'crackling old mics,' but now they can speak with confidence knowing their voices and ideas will be heard clearly. So far, they have had great success with the recordings they have made using the Yeti microphone - talking about current news and outlining historical events. It will help my students for years to come. \r\n\r\nAs for the speaker, it also has been a great asset to my classroom and Speech program at school. The speaker has allowed my students to participate in multiple practices and contest without fear of the sound 'cutting out' on them. They were excited (over the moon really) about the new opportunity it present and again, we cannot wait to use it in years to come. The sound quality is unmatched - just like their voices. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for the opportunities these donations provided. My students will continue to use their talents with the microphone for podcasting and the speaker for musical theatre performances. I cannot wait to continue to listen to their creative talents with these two products. \r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1730732510990,"projectUrl":"project/speaking-to-future-generations-podcast/8914794/","projectTitle":"Speaking to Future Generations: Podcasting and Musical Theatre for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wimmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823449"},{"teacherId":9821514,"projectId":8912747,"letterContent":"I am incredibly grateful for your generous support of my students through Donors Choose! Thanks to your kindness, we now have a JBL Party Box speaker and LEGO flower sets to help foster a more engaging and calming learning environment in our agricultural classroom.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these items has already been noticeable. The LEGO flowers provide students with a hands-on, creative activity that promotes relaxation, teamwork, and mindfulness—an essential aspect of supporting their mental well-being. Many students have found joy in building and displaying these flowers, creating a sense of accomplishment and a positive atmosphere in our classroom.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the JBL Party Box speaker has enhanced our daily activities by allowing us to integrate music, motivational podcasts, and student-led discussions into our lessons. Whether playing soft background music during work sessions or energizing students during collaborative projects, the speaker has transformed our space into a more dynamic and welcoming environment.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly contributed to making our classroom a place where students feel supported both academically and emotionally.
