Because of you, our theatre classroom has been transformed into a space where creativity, collaboration, and confidence truly come to life.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this experience so special is not just the performance you've helped bring to the stage, but the journey behind it. Every set piece carefully measured, every prop thoughtfully constructed, and every brushstroke applied with intention represents hours of student dedication. Your contributions provided the tools that made this possible—tools that empowered students to work safely, precisely, and with a sense of pride in their craft.\r\n\r\nWith the tape measures, students learned the importance of planning and accuracy. With paint brushes and painter's tape, they explored artistic techniques that elevated the visual storytelling of our show. Drop cloths helped them take ownership of their workspace, while staples and hot glue allowed them to construct with efficiency and confidence. Safety equipment and proper cutting tools ensured that students could focus on creating while learning the value of professional standards and care.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, your support has given my students the freedom to create fearlessly. In our classroom, they are not just building sets—they are building teamwork, resilience, and real-world skills. They are learning how to problem-solve, communicate, and trust one another. They are discovering that their ideas matter and that they are capable of bringing something extraordinary into the world.\r\n\r\nAs you look at the photos from our production, please know that every detail you see is a direct result of your kindness. You are a part of every scene, every laugh, and every moment of pride these students feel as they take the stage.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students, for supporting arts education, and for helping us create something truly meaningful. Your impact will stay with these students long after the curtain falls.","fullyFundedDate":1771029159166,"projectUrl":"project/measure-build-create-hands-on-theatre/9979473/","projectTitle":"Measure, Build, Create: Hands-On Theatre Design for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp547354_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449238658839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lanson"},{"teacherId":10217813,"projectId":9794452,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to Teen Wellness Club! The students were so excited to get to keep the nee dough fidgets. One student's words were \"wait we get to keep them!\" The students also enjoyed the chips during our lunch meeting. We did an activity with the small journals called \"affirmation passports\". The students were able to decorate and then pass around the notebooks to their peers. Each student wrote some thing positive in another students journal and we passed them around until every one had a chance to encourage someone!

Your generosity has already made a powerful impact in our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for your belief in our students and their creativity.\r\n\r\nThis camera is doing far more than taking pictures—it is transforming how students learn. While many of our students are familiar with everyday technology like phones or tablets, learning to use a professional camera introduces them to intentional, hands-on problem-solving. Students are learning how composition, lighting, focus, and camera settings all work together to tell a story. They are applying artistic concepts in a tangible way, collaborating with one another, and gaining confidence as they see their ideas come to life through their own work.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the sense of ownership and professionalism this camera brings. Holding a real camera makes them feel like artists and storytellers, not just students completing an assignment. They are eager to experiment, to frame shots thoughtfully, and to capture moments that matter—from staged creative projects to documenting school events and performances. It has sparked curiosity, motivation, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were previously more reserved have especially thrived with this new technology. Students who may not feel comfortable performing on stage or speaking in front of others have found a strong voice behind the camera. Photography has given them a way to contribute meaningfully, collaborate with peers, and showcase their talents in a way that feels authentic and empowering.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students are learning to see the world through a new lens—both literally and figuratively. You have opened doors to creative expression, teamwork, and potential future opportunities in the arts. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in the confidence and growth of our students. Your generosity will continue to inspire them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1763411527048,"projectUrl":"project/through-our-lens-inspiring-young-photog/9588300/","projectTitle":"Through Our Lens: Inspiring Young Photographers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp547354_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449238658839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lanson"},{"teacherId":58892,"projectId":9581548,"letterContent":"We are just getting started with our UKULELE CLUB. Your kind and generous donation has made this possible for me to pull off. I know that the ukulele can bring joy and happiness to this group of students---as it has for me for many years now--- and, no doubt, they will share their joy with others. Everybody ought to play the ukulele. \r\n With twenty ukuleles we are ready to rock and roll. You should know that my intention is to have students learn chords and songs and the playing skills to make music and perform quickly and easily. Afterall, the ukulele is the simplest, most delightful stringed instrument on earth, and I have taught it to adults and children for many years now. As you can see in the photos I even have a giant ukulele mural installation---painted 20 years ago by a student---hanging on the wall in my office. Thank you, again.

We've already started using the new safety and hygiene supplies to create a more professional, organized, and health-conscious environment for our students. During our first week of rehearsals, we launched a backstage safety training session using the \"Watch Your Step\" sign, gloves, first aid kit, and eyewash station. One student even led a demonstration on how to respond to minor on-set injuries using the new first aid materials—an empowering moment that gave them ownership of the space and responsibility for their peers.\r\n\r\nWhen our students first saw the boxes filled with CaviWipes, makeup wipes, Degree deodorant, and the other supplies, they were honestly amazed. Several students laughed in relief and said, \"Now we're officially a real theatre!\"—not just because of the quality of the supplies, but because it showed that someone out there cared about the behind-the-scenes work they do. They appreciated that these are often overlooked but essential items that help them feel safe, clean, and confident throughout long rehearsals and performances.\r\n\r\nAs we begin the school year, our next steps include preparing for our next production, where students will rotate through crew roles—props, costumes, lighting, and of course, sound and safety. The donated materials will support every aspect of this work, helping students focus on creativity and teamwork without worrying about personal hygiene or safety gaps. Thanks to your support, we've been able to set a strong, professional tone from day one, and we're so excited for what's to come!","fullyFundedDate":1754394580305,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-essentials/9266343/","projectTitle":"Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp547354_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449238658839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lanson"},{"teacherId":547354,"projectId":9066658,"letterContent":"Many of our generous donors are familiar with technology in their homes, but using that same technology in a theatre setting can be a completely different experience. The new Crown XTi 2 1002 amplifier has given our technical theatre students the opportunity to learn hands-on about professional sound systems, including signal flow, output balancing, and real-time adjustments during live performances. With this equipment, students are not just pushing buttons—they're learning the foundational skills of sound engineering that are essential in both theatre and many career paths beyond it.\r\nWhat excites our students most about the Crown amplifier is its clarity, control, and reliability. They love being able to hear the difference it makes in a production—whether it's crisp dialogue in a dramatic scene or balanced backing tracks during a musical number. The built-in digital signal processing allows them to shape the sound to fit the space, giving them a professional-level tool they can grow into. For students who are passionate about technology and want to pursue careers in live production, this kind of hands-on experience is invaluable.\r\n\r\nFor many of our technical theatre students, the spotlight isn't the goal—instead, they thrive behind the scenes. Sound design allows them to be just as creative and essential to the storytelling process as the performers on stage. It also builds collaboration, as they work closely with directors, stage managers, and performers to ensure each cue is perfectly timed and every scene sounds exactly right. The new amplifier made it possible to run our sound system efficiently and professionally, giving these students a real-world environment to learn, problem-solve, and take pride in their contribution to the show's success. Big thank you to helping us reach a huge goal with the purchase of this amp.","fullyFundedDate":1740696913687,"projectUrl":"project/clear-audio-and-vocals/9066658/","projectTitle":"Clear Audio and Vocals","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lanson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp547354_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449238658839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lanson"},{"teacherId":547354,"projectId":9192372,"letterContent":"Students quickly ripped opened the boxes of stage paint to complete our set design for the Spring production of The Foreigner.
