During lunch, school social workers hosted resource tables where students could explore and select items that best supported their individual coping needs. Students were able to choose a fidget, stickers, deep-breathing tracing cards, mints, tea, and motivational quotes.\r\n\r\nThe donations had a positive impact on student engagement and wellness. Students were able to try different types of fidgets and identify which ones were most helpful before taking one with them for continued use. Many students expressed gratitude and appreciation for the event and the resources provided. Motivational bracelets and stickers were especially popular, while mints and other sensory items provided simple, immediate coping strategies students could use throughout the school day. Overall, the donated resources helped make suicide prevention education more interactive and gave students practical tools they could use to manage stress and support their emotional well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1788491362478,"projectUrl":"project/hope-in-their-hands-tools-for-student-w/10489761/","projectTitle":"Hope in Their Hands: Tools for Student Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wedlow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8116775_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634824107824","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8116775"},{"teacherId":9354616,"projectId":10053757,"letterContent":"After a little back and forth, the books have finally arrived in my classroom, and I'm so excited!

Your generosity has made an immediate and practical impact.\r\n\r\nWe are already using the clapboards, SD cards, card readers, gaffers tape, and work gloves in daily production exercises. In one recent project, students filmed a one-scene narrative as part of their Quarter 3 production cycle. For many of them, it was the first time they used a real clapboard to slate a take, unlocking structure and elevated professionalism.. That simple action changed the tone of the room. They called \"Roll sound,\" \"Roll camera,\" and \"Marker.\"\r\n\r\nThe SD cards and readers allowed teams to offload footage quickly and stay organized, which is a major industry habit we are building. The gaffers tape has been used to secure cables safely and mark actor positions. The gloves have been especially helpful when moving lights, stands, and outdoor props during location shoots.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were excited but also more focused. They recognized that someone invested in them. It shifted their mindset on our video projects from \"I have to do this class assignment\" to \"I get to lead a film production.\"\r\n\r\nOur next steps are tied to our current unit. Students are moving from filming a single scene to finalizing their Q3 films. They will use the SD cards and readers to continue capturing footage, and the clapboards to maintain clean shot logs for editing. As they approach their \"Original Cut\" deadline, they will practice professional workflows: slating correctly, backing up media, organizing files, and maintaining safe sets. These are the habits that prepare them for college programs, internships, and real film sets.\r\n\r\nYour support is not sitting on a shelf - It is in students' hands every day! It is helping them build discipline, confidence, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1758821090353,"projectUrl":"project/be-a-producer-of-lva-video-production/9760032/","projectTitle":"Be a Producer of LVA Video Production!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tovar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10280167_orig.jpg?crop=2913,2913,x80,y1018&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758776857645","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10280167"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60064","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1724,"numTeachers":80,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.9,"schoolId":60064,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Las Vegas Academy of the Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Las Vegas Academy of the Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/las-vegas-academy-int-l-studies/60064"}
