After completing assignments, following directions, participating appropriately, or giving their best effort, students can earn a snack as a meaningful reward. These small treats help students stay motivated and engaged, especially when they are working on challenging academic, communication, and independent-living skills. Seeing the snack choices often brings excitement to the classroom because students know their hard work and progress are being recognized.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping my students feel valued, motivated, and proud of what they can accomplish. For my students with special needs, something as simple as receiving a snack after completing a challenging task can create a meaningful moment of success. Thank you for helping make learning more rewarding and for showing my students that their effort matters. With your support, we will continue using positive reinforcement during functional academics, career-readiness activities, and preparation for community-based instruction. Your donation is more than a snack—it is an opportunity for my students to build confidence, practice independence, and celebrate their accomplishments.

We have already started putting these new resources to work in our Algebra 1 classroom. Using the cutting machine and printable materials, I created colorful math reference stickers for concepts such as slope, solving equations, transformations, types of functions, and combining like terms. Instead of seeing only equations and notes on a page, my students now have visual reminders that break important concepts into smaller, easier-to-follow pieces. It has been exciting to see an idea from this project turn into something my students can actually hold, use, and refer back to while working.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also given me many more possibilities for creating resources specifically for what my students need. As we move through Algebra 1, I plan to continue creating visual references, templates, labels, and hands-on materials that connect directly to each new concept we study. The markers, highlighters, and other supplies will help students color-code their work, annotate graphs, and make connections between equations and their visual representations. These resources will not be used for just one activity or one class—they will continue supporting my students throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping me make mathematics more visual, engaging, and accessible. Your generosity has given me the tools to turn abstract concepts into learning experiences my students can see and interact with, and I am truly grateful for the difference you have made in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778008644820,"projectUrl":"project/if-you-can-see-it-you-can-solve-it/10009647/","projectTitle":"If You Can See It, You Can Solve It","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Turingan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10035173_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747230746296","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrturingan-math"},{"teacherId":9375052,"projectId":9135317,"letterContent":"Latin American History class has been elevated due to your generous donation.

Because of your support in providing seeds and hydroponic supplies, my students are getting a unique, hands-on opportunity to explore the cutting-edge science of soil-free agriculture. Your donation has transformed our classroom into a vibrant, living laboratory, bringing a whole new level of excitement, engagement, and curiosity to our daily routine.\r\n\r\nThe students have been completely captivated by the entire process, right from the start. They eagerly began by germinating the seeds, and it has been amazing to watch their faces light up as they transferred the tiny sprouts into their new hydroponic homes. Currently, we are successfully growing a wonderful variety of beans, peas, crisp lettuce, and fragrant herbs. Every day, the students take true ownership of the project by checking the water levels, monitoring the rapid root development, and observing how quickly these plants thrive without a single drop of soil. The lettuce and herbs are already flourishing, and watching the vines of the beans and peas begin to reach upward has been a daily highlight for the class.\r\n\r\nBeyond just watching plants grow, this project has profoundly deepened my students' understanding of plant biology, water chemistry, and essential life cycles. It has also instilled a wonderful sense of responsibility, patience, and pride as they work together to care for their indoor garden. Your kindness has truly brought our science curriculum to life in a way a textbook never could. Thank you so much for investing in my students and giving us the tools to learn, grow, and even harvest together!","fullyFundedDate":1776093438664,"projectUrl":"project/learning-physics-and-hydroponics/10066417/","projectTitle":"Learning Physics and Hydroponics","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Viggato","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9356376"},{"teacherId":8906305,"projectId":10029970,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom.

By capturing the raw effort of a game-winning shot alongside the focused dedication of late-night study sessions, \"Picture Perfect\" bridges the gap between a student's athletic persona and their academic journey. When students see their hard work professionalized and displayed, it fosters a profound sense of belonging and pride. This visual history serves as a permanent mirror, reflecting back to them a version of themselves that is capable, disciplined, and multi-faceted, effectively boosting self-esteem and motivating them to maintain that high standard in every arena of their lives.\r\n\r\n\r\nBeyond the individual impact, this project strengthens the very fabric of our school community. These images create a legacy of excellence that inspires younger students and connects families to the school's mission in a deeply personal way. By documenting these milestones, we are not just taking photos; we are storytelling—curating a narrative that proves our athletes are scholars first and leaders always. This archive will stand as a testament to their resilience and growth, ensuring that their contributions to our school's history are never forgotten and providing them with a tangible portfolio of success to carry into their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1769177560896,"projectUrl":"project/picture-perfect-building-a-visual-histo/10029730/","projectTitle":"Picture Perfect: Building a Visual History of Student Achievement","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Laboy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10406942"},{"teacherId":10404821,"projectId":10023873,"letterContent":"I am writing to share an update on the project you so generously funded for my Data Science class.

The students have taken what they were supplied with and build on their knowledge of art within the classroom and some have shared the experience of making art in community events at the school level and beyond. My classes are drawing, ceramics, and painting so we were able to cover a lot of ground but also we still have some gaps. We are hoping that next year we can continue replenishing to be at full power. \r\n\r\nMy painting students are working on stained glass designs and have put the light boxes to good use. These designs will become part of the classroom windows we have, they let the light in and also blocks some of the view into the classroom from the lunch traffic outside. Last month we had a multicultural event and the students shared the work they did in class - a Black History Month quilt. Each student made a square and created their own community in the process of making this. We also were able to take our paintings to First Friday, a community art festival. \r\n\r\nThe drawing students have gone from drawing in 2D to collaborating with our local elementary school. The elementary school students drew Gobi, a dog from an inspiring story during Nevada reading week. The drawing students in my classroom have taken their drawings and are turning them into a sculpture based on their drawings. We soon will be returning these sculptures to the elementary school students so that they can see their drawings in 3D. Both my high school students and the elementary school students are excited for the outcome and will now continue this collaboration with that school next year.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation my ceramic students have been active in their community as well. The ceramics club was able to participate in First Friday art festival, made bowls for three-square, a pantry charity and our first mental health awareness festival - \"Art U Ok? We did a workshop that shared art making as a grounding activity using clay. Many artists and community partners gather to bring art to our community providing art to those who struggle with mental health and use it to assist in recovery or just to educate others on creating positive habits to maintain a positive mindset.\r\n\r\nAnother club I advise is the Alzheimer and Art where the students make art projects for patients with Alzheimers and these supplies are still being used for these projects. As you can tell we have had an ongoing theme this year, and that is creating community through art and inspiring others. Like our donators, we to want to give back to our community so know that your donations do not stop only at the classroom. You can feel and see it in our local community and I am hoping we can see it continue past the school year of 2025-2026 into a life-long journey and seeing the importance of connecting to others, healing, and giving back through art.","fullyFundedDate":1768501435518,"projectUrl":"project/replenish-and-refresh-restock-our-learn/10007009/","projectTitle":"Replenish and Refresh: Restock our Learning Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vazquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9803900_orig.jpg?crop=2077,2077,x457,y1314&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734035060921","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9803900"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82930","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2702,"numTeachers":135,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":82930,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edward W Clark High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edward W Clark High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/edward-w-clark-high-school/82930"}
