The excitement wasn't just about new items—it was about the sense of care and respect they felt from someone investing in their learning space. We talked as a class about how a clean and organized environment helps us focus better, stay healthier, and take more pride in our work.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the disinfecting wipes and air purifiers daily, especially during group projects and lab work. One of our favorite examples was during our tech build week—students were assembling robotics kits, and it was awesome to see them take initiative by cleaning their stations before and after working. It's helped foster responsibility and reinforced the idea that keeping our space safe and clean is a shared job.\r\n\r\nNext up, we're diving into some hands-on collaboration projects that involve shared tools and equipment. Thanks to you, we can keep these materials clean and ready for use each day, and students don't have to worry about catching something just from coming to class. Your support didn't just buy supplies—it sent a message that their well-being matters. Thank you for making our classroom a healthier, more positive place to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1744033080949,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-positive-and-germ-free-learni/9125919/","projectTitle":"Building a Positive and Germ Free Learning Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Spiece","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6636668_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753225058115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aspiece"},{"teacherId":6636668,"projectId":9074436,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom feels more like a real makerspace than ever before! The vertical power strips and work trays have made a huge difference. Now, students don't have to fight over outlets or worry about where to keep their project parts — everything has a place, and it just works. During a recent build session, one group actually cheered when they realized they could plug in all their devices and keep everything organized on their tray without cluttering the table. It might sound simple, but it made a big impact.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were buzzing with excitement. They unpacked everything, figured out how we'd set things up, and immediately started brainstorming how it would help with upcoming projects. The trays especially have helped them stay on task — no more scattered parts or lost pieces between class periods. It's been a game-changer for how we manage hands-on work.\r\n\r\nWe're about to kick off a series of build challenges involving Raspberry Pi kits and electronics, and I can already tell these tools are going to help everything run more smoothly. Your support has done more than just provide materials — it's created a better environment for learning, experimenting, and creating. Thank you for making this possible. You've made a real difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1739373998356,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-with-hands-on-learni/9074436/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students with Hands-On Learning in Physical Computing","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Spiece","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6636668_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753225058115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aspiece"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67662","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1200,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"11 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":67662,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Genesee Career Institute on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Genesee Career Institute","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/-county-run-/genesee-technology-center/67662"}
