My students and I are forever grateful. Having the camera cases have been monumental for us in that is is easy to store and protect our camera as we move around the school and the community.\r\n\r\nDue to the generous donation of these cases we were able to expand our growing Media Team. They have expanded to photographing sporting events, our school's prom, our annual spring carnival (429 Day), and other school wide events simply from having a proper case to protect the cameras. \r\n\r\nMy traditional photography students enjoy the ease of storing their camera into the cabinet. When we travel out onto the school's grounds/ campus, students often carry their camera bag with them, though they are not required to. Many students love having the extra protection for the cameras as opposed to just carrying the cameras around their necks.\r\n\r\nOnce again, on behalf of the Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy High School, we thank all of you for your generous donations of the camera cases.","fullyFundedDate":1742923169886,"projectUrl":"project/photography-class-in-need-of-camera-case/9047090/","projectTitle":"Photography Class in Need of Camera Cases","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Generette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9891309"},{"teacherId":9559191,"projectId":8430752,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our Life Garden Project 24 equipped students with essential gardening tools and a portable hydroponics kit, transforming lessons into hands-on, experiential learning.
