One of our first projects using the microphones was a student-produced segment for our school broadcast. The difference in sound quality was immediately noticeable, and students were proud to hear how professional their work sounded compared to previous projects.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first opened the box and realized they were getting real industry microphones, their reaction was excitement. Several students said it felt like they were working on a \"real set,\" not just a class project. It boosted their confidence and motivated them to take their roles more seriously, especially students who are usually shy but found comfort working behind the scenes with professional audio equipment.\r\n\r\nNext, students are using the microphones for news packages and storytelling projects that focus on interviewing members of our school community. These projects also serve as preparation for SkillsUSA competitions and future media pathways. Because of your support, students are not only learning technical skills, but also communication, teamwork, and professionalism. Thank you for helping make these opportunities possible for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1768164648698,"projectUrl":"project/professional-audio-projects/9992371/","projectTitle":"Professional Audio Projects","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gutierrez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8174004"},{"teacherId":7791390,"projectId":9256892,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generosity and belief in my students. Your support means so much to us, and your contribution will make a lasting impact on how my students learn and grow. Many of my students face challenges such as Autism, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral difficulties, yet they continue to show determination, creativity, and curiosity every day. Thanks to you, they now have access to a MacBook Pro that will help them learn, connect, and express their ideas in new and exciting ways.\r\n\r\nWith this incredible tool, my students will be able to research science topics, create digital presentations, organize their work, and participate more fully in lessons. The MacBook Pro will also support individualized learning plans, allowing students to work at their own pace and build confidence in their abilities. Technology like this helps level the playing field for students who often struggle with traditional learning methods, giving them the same opportunities as their peers to succeed and shine.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in our classroom and in my students' futures. Your kindness reminds them that people care about their success and believe in their potential. Because of you, my extraordinary learners are not only gaining skills—they're gaining hope and confidence. We are truly grateful for your support and encouragement.","fullyFundedDate":1753454607418,"projectUrl":"project/a-macbook-pro-for-extraordinary-learners/9256892/","projectTitle":"A MacBook Pro for Extraordinary Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Coach David A Gallegos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7791390_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1615743125293","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coachgallegos"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82912","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2386,"numTeachers":111,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":42.0,"schoolId":82912,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Basic Academy of International Studies on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Basic Academy of International Studies","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/basic-high-school/82912"}
