These printers have already made a tremendous impact on our students and community.\r\n\r\nBefore Christmas, our center hosted local pre-K students for a North Pole Adventure, where my class set up a professional photo booth with Santa. Because of your support, every child not only got to meet Santa but also went home with a printed photo to cherish. Seeing the joy on the children's faces made my students fully invest in the project, and they gained invaluable hands-on experience in running a professional photo booth.\r\n\r\nBeyond this event, we also used the printers as part of a fundraiser at our school's Christmas Bazaar, setting up a fun photo booth for high school students. This opportunity allowed my students to practice their photography and printing skills in a real-world setting while raising funds to support our program.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the greatest impact has been the newfound interest in photography among my students. Several who had never considered it before are now eager to learn more, and that's because you helped open the door for them.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity and for making these experiences possible. Your support has not only provided equipment but has also created meaningful learning opportunities that will stay with my students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1732046039434,"projectUrl":"project/christmas-photo-booth/8941333/","projectTitle":"Christmas Photo Booth","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9834857_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731790939325","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9834857"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24573","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":250,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":45.8,"schoolId":24573,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Millsaps Career & Technical Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Millsaps Career & Technical Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/starkville-oktibbeha-school-district/millsaps-career-tech-center/24573"}
