Because of your support, our students now have access to a microwave, allowing them to enjoy warm meals while staying after school for club meetings. This has made a meaningful difference in their comfort and ability to stay engaged.\r\n\r\nYour funding of a paper shredder has also been incredibly valuable. As students work through college applications, they now have a safe and responsible way to dispose of personal documents, helping them feel more secure during an important time in their lives.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the calendar organizers you provided are helping students stay on track with college deadlines and manage their homework more effectively.

With great appreciation, we were able to add titles to both with your generous donation. With our fiction titles, we added high-interest mysteries, along with stories about diverse people and situations. With our non-fiction titles, we added several music books to our collections that are focused on Jazz for our Jazz conservatory students, including transcrips of music by Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new books put out, as they are always happy about new materials in the library.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1768166789188,"projectUrl":"project/lets-read-and-play-music/9994103/","projectTitle":"Let's Read and Play Music!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Guinn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8135957_orig.png?crop=272,272,x0,y31&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634488359706","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8135957"},{"teacherId":1505350,"projectId":9998755,"letterContent":"I would like to thank the Nevada legislature for providing funds to my classroom.

Play and healthy competition lead to healthy students and greater success in the classroom\r\nStudents were surprised that I chose to purchase games and activities that were not academically related. Like Kagan strategies, games, and non-academic activities help build community within the classroom and increase student success. These research-based approaches have proven time and again that a break from academics leads to greater learning and understanding.\r\nMy next steps will be to continue playing games and outdoor activities.","fullyFundedDate":1768680665857,"projectUrl":"project/nevada-donorschoose/9998755/","projectTitle":"Nevada DonorsChoose","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Strehl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1505350_orig.jpg?crop=862,862,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633230624204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1505350"},{"teacherId":10280167,"projectId":9760032,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting LVA's Video Production classroom! 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"},{"teacherId":1836231,"projectId":10048228,"letterContent":"This new amplifier will have an immediate and lasting impact on our jazz students by improving sound quality during rehearsals, performances, and community events.

The technology that is a part of this project ensures that the learning and practice of skills is accomplished regardless of the time and place the students are in because, in the online learning environment, it is quite easy for the students to feel isolated when learning online.\r\nWhat students are most enthusiastic about is how such technology improves online education to be more engaging as well as manageable. They value having easy-to-understand education resources, engaging tasks, as well as immediate feedback to grasp concepts readily. Rather than relying on instructors, students can refer to lessons, sample solutions, as well as check their status, which boosts student confidence.\r\nAlso, some students who have struggled to remain motivated within an online platform have greatly benefited. Students who have busy schedules or those without access to physical support within the institution now have the ability to remain on track. In conclusion, this project has made online learning more accessible, supportive, and empowering for students.
