Forensic Science is a course I have dreamed of offering at our school for over three years, and thanks to your generous donations, that dream is finally becoming a reality.\r\n\r\nWith your contributions, I was able to obtain the essential lab supplies needed to run a full section of the course. These materials will allow students to gain authentic, hands-on experience in activities such as bloodstain pattern analysis, fiber identification, gel electrophoresis, impression casting, crime scene documentation, hair analysis, drug analysis, and even gunshot and explosive residue testing. Through these labs, students will be able to see what it truly means to work as a forensic scientist.\r\n\r\nAfter seeing the materials, several students and their families have reached out to the school requesting that this course be offered. I am hopeful that we will be able to launch the class next year so students can finally engage in these exciting, hands-on investigations.\r\n\r\nStarting a new course always comes with challenges, especially in acquiring specialized materials, but because of your thoughtful donations, that is one major hurdle we've already overcome. From my current and future students, and from me personally, thank you for believing in my vision and supporting engaging, hands-on science experiences in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact, and I cannot wait to see my students' excitement when they finally get to use these materials next year.","fullyFundedDate":1746732725694,"projectUrl":"project/help-bring-forensic-science-to-life-for/9230580/","projectTitle":"Help Bring Forensic Science to Life for Our Future Investigators!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wallace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5420856"},{"teacherId":5420856,"projectId":8914540,"letterContent":"I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project, \"Empowering Science Education Through Teacher Collaboration.\" Thanks to your kindness, I was able to secure funding for Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards that will directly impact the learning experience in our newly introduced science course next year.\r\n\r\nThis donation is more than just financial support—it's a gift of time, creativity, and collaboration. With access to high-quality resources created by fellow educators, I can now better meet the needs of the diverse learners in my classroom. One of the most challenging aspects of teaching is developing materials that reach every student where they are. Your contribution has made that task significantly easier.\r\n\r\nNot only am I able to utilize resources that will enhance my students' learning, but I'm also proud to support other teachers by purchasing and using the materials they've worked so hard to create. This cycle of educators helping educators truly embodies the spirit of collaboration and community.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has empowered me to spend less time creating everything from scratch and more time doing what matters most—connecting with and teaching each individual student. I'm excited to see the impact this will have on their understanding, confidence, and love for science.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in this project and in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1733288042319,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-science-eduction-through-teac/8914540/","projectTitle":"Empowering Science Eduction Through Teacher Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wallace","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5420856"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81251","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1641,"numTeachers":93,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":81251,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gloucester County Institute of Technical on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gloucester County Institute of Technical","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/gloucester-county-vocational-technical-school-district/gloucester-co-inst-of-tech/81251"}
