Students were amazed when they first saw it in action and immediately began asking questions and sharing ideas for what they wanted to design. They are learning how to turn their ideas into physical objects, revise their designs, and think creatively through trial and error. Moving forward, students will continue using the printer for hands-on, project-based learning that builds creativity, confidence, and real-world skills.","fullyFundedDate":1768406585745,"projectUrl":"project/trauma-informed-learning-through-creatio/9985463/","projectTitle":"Trauma-Informed Learning Through Creation and 3D Design","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Quezada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8616703_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662519320718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thebodeguitaproject"},{"teacherId":8616703,"projectId":10049927,"letterContent":"We are using the socks, jackets, and bookbags every day, and they've made a meaningful difference for our students. Students stay warm throughout the school day and use the bookbags to keep their materials organized and accessible. When they first received the items, their reactions were filled with smiles, gratitude, and relief. Many shared how good it felt to be warm and prepared for school. Moving forward, these supports allow students to fully engage in lessons and project-based learning, helping them feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn each day. It has been a blessing noticing how students are ready to learn from a essential need being met.","fullyFundedDate":1769536942021,"projectUrl":"project/ready-for-learning-rain-or-shine/10049927/","projectTitle":"Ready for Learning, Rain or Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Quezada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8616703_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662519320718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thebodeguitaproject"},{"teacherId":8616703,"projectId":10022517,"letterContent":"The noise-canceling headphones reduce distractions and overwhelming sounds, making it easier for students to focus, think clearly, and stay engaged. The visual floor mats give students a simple way to pause, breathe, and reset their bodies before jumping into learning, especially during transitions or moments of stress.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting for students is that these tools give them choice and a sense of control. They love knowing they can grab the headphones when the room feels too loud or step onto a mat when they need a quick moment to relax. It helps them feel more independent and confident because they're learning how to notice what they need and respond healthily.\r\n\r\nMost of all, these tools show students that their feelings matter. They understand that the classroom is a place where it's okay to slow down, reset, and take care of themselves. When students feel supported and cared for, they're more willing to participate, take risks, and fully engage in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1768616839899,"projectUrl":"project/calm-spaces-for-growing-minds-quiet-min/10022517/","projectTitle":"Calm Spaces for Growing Minds- Quiet Minds, Strong Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Quezada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8616703_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662519320718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thebodeguitaproject"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80783","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":946,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.1,"schoolId":80783,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Shade High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Shade High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/maple-shade-township-school-district/maple-shade-high-school/80783"}
