While we haven't had the chance to use it yet, my students and I are already excited about the difference it will make during state testing and throughout the school year. Many of my high schoolers arrive early for extra help or stay late working on assignments, and now they'll be able to keep healthy snacks, drinks, and meals fresh and ready when they need that extra fuel to stay focused.\r\n\r\nWhen I told my students that the refrigerator was on its way, their reactions were priceless. Several asked in disbelief, \"Really? We're getting a fridge in here?\" Others immediately started making plans about what they'd bring to store—everything from fruit and yogurt to leftovers from home. For many of my students who balance demanding schedules with jobs and family responsibilities, having access to nutritious food during long school days means they won't have to choose between staying focused and staying fed. The excitement in the room was contagious, and I could see how much it meant to them that someone cared enough to make this happen.\r\n\r\nAs we prepare for state testing in the coming weeks, this refrigerator will become an essential part of our classroom routine. My goal is to create a space where students know they can take care of their basic needs so they can perform their best academically. Beyond testing, I envision this fridge supporting students year-round—during study sessions, club meetings, and those long afternoons when they need a boost to keep going. Thank you for investing in my students' success and well-being. Your generosity has shown them that their community believes in them, and that means everything.","fullyFundedDate":1789582048280,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-a-refrigerator-to-keep-st/10554995/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus: a Refrigerator to Keep Students Nourished During Testing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9459500"},{"teacherId":9621160,"projectId":10547710,"letterContent":"Through Equip Young Minds to Read, Create, and Innovate, I am able to provide an iPad Air and Apple Pencil for a student who benefits from having a different way to access learning and demonstrate understanding. While an iPad may seem like simply another device, for this particular student, having access to the right technology can make a meaningful difference. It provides an alternative to traditional paper-and-pencil tasks and gives the student greater flexibility to read, annotate, organize ideas, write, research, and complete creative projects. In my ELA classroom, I want every student to have a way to participate meaningfully, and this technology helps remove some of the barriers that can make traditional learning tasks challenging.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this project especially meaningful to me is seeing how a device can give a student another pathway to success. The Apple Pencil allows the student to write, draw, annotate, and organize ideas in a way that feels more natural and manageable, while the iPad provides access to digital tools that support learning and creativity. The student can also participate in our Business Integration activities by researching, designing, creating presentations, and developing digital projects. Rather than focusing on what the student may find difficult, this technology allows me to focus on what the student can create and accomplish when given the right tools.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping me provide more than a device, it is providing access, flexibility, confidence, and opportunity. As a teacher, it means so much to be able to offer a student a tool that better matches their learning needs and allows them to show what they know in their own way. Thank you for helping me create a classroom where every student has the opportunity to participate, create, and experience success.","fullyFundedDate":1788197469951,"projectUrl":"project/equip-young-minds-to-read-create-and-i/10547710/","projectTitle":"Equip Young Minds to Read, Create, and Innovate","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Murillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621160_orig.png?crop=1413,1413,x0,y358&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745521309363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621160"},{"teacherId":9621160,"projectId":10215716,"letterContent":"Beyond the Page has brought new energy and excitement to my classroom by giving my students opportunities to use technology in ways that go beyond simply completing an assignment. With digital collaboration tools, my students can work together in real time, exchange ideas, give feedback, and build their understanding together. Technology has also allowed me to provide different learning pathways so students can engage with lessons in ways that match their needs, strengths, and learning styles. I have seen students become more willing to participate when they can create, explore, and demonstrate their learning using hands-on digital tools.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the opportunity to create something of their own. Instead of only reading a text and answering questions, they can turn their ideas into digital products, collaborate with classmates, and see their learning come to life. I have especially noticed students who are sometimes quiet or hesitant to participate become more involved when they are given a digital space to share their ideas and creativity. For me, the greatest impact of this project is seeing my students realize that their voices, ideas, and creativity matter.

Your generosity has created a learning environment where my students can truly thrive.\r\n\r\nHow We're Using the Materials:\r\n\r\nThe Brother label printer has been a game-changer! Within the first week, we labeled every bin, shelf, supply basket, and storage area in our classroom. But the best part? My students became the labeling team. They helped decide what labels we needed, practiced reading the words, and took turns placing them around the room. One student said, \"Now I don't have to ask where anything is—I can just read it!\" That moment of independence was exactly what we hoped for.\r\n\r\nThe small collapsible baskets have organized our supply stations beautifully—one for pencils, one for erasers, one for crayons—all clearly labeled. The desk organizers keep our classroom library checkout system running smoothly, and students know exactly where to return books. The rechargeable lamps have created cozy reading corners where students can focus during independent reading time.\r\n\r\nTheir Reaction:\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were SO excited! They gathered around as we unboxed everything, and when I showed them the label maker, they cheered. \"We're going to be so organized!\" one student shouted. The mochi squishy toys became our first set of rewards for students who help maintain our newly organized space, and they've been highly motivated! The Eucalyptus Mint Wallflowers have created a calm, welcoming atmosphere that students notice the moment they walk in. \"It smells like a spa in here!\" one student said—and honestly, that peaceful environment helps us all focus.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next:\r\n\r\nNow that our classroom is organized, we're taking our learning to the next level. Students are using their newfound independence to lead small-group projects, manage materials during science experiments, and keep our daily routines running smoothly. We're currently working on a student-led \"Classroom Caretaker\" program where rotating teams are responsible for checking that everything is in its labeled place at the end of each day. They're building responsibility, literacy skills, and pride in their space—all because of your support.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their learning environment. You've given them more than labels and organizers—you've given them confidence, independence, and ownership of their education. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1787220276056,"projectUrl":"project/label-it-learn-it-own-it/10466112/","projectTitle":"\"Label It, Learn It, Own It!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9459500"},{"teacherId":9621160,"projectId":10190819,"letterContent":"My students have been using the colorful markers to make literature come alive on the page. During our reading activities, they use different colors to annotate important details, identify themes, track character development, and connect ideas across the text. When they first saw the materials, they were excited to use them and make their work their own. I loved seeing students proudly share their colorful annotations and explain the thinking behind their choices.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to use these materials for visual literary analysis projects, including theme maps, character-development charts, and visual representations of important passages. These activities will help students move beyond simply reading literature to thinking deeply, making connections, and expressing their understanding creatively.

Students who arrive with broken devices or forget their laptops won't face the stressful choice of falling behind on an assessment or missing instruction—they'll grab a reliable loaner and continue seamlessly. What will excite students most is the confidence it will bring—they'll know they won't be penalized by technology failures beyond their control. Teachers will spend less time troubleshooting and more time teaching, and we expect to see meaningful improvements in assessment completion rates and instructional momentum.\r\n\r\nThe impact will extend far beyond test day. Students without devices at home will be able to borrow a loaner to complete homework, access research databases, and practice skills in the evening. We anticipate particular growth among students from under-resourced households who currently have limited access to computers outside school. Imagine a student who can finally finish projects thoughtfully instead of rushing through them at lunch, or a family that gains access to learning tools they couldn't otherwise afford. This program will level the playing field so that access to technology is never a barrier to success.\r\n\r\nWhat donors may not immediately realize is how much teacher time this will free up. Currently, staff spend hours troubleshooting devices, managing exceptions for missing technology, and administering make-up tests. With loaner computers in place, that energy will go directly to instruction and student support. Your investment won't just provide devices—it will remove the friction that keeps great teaching from happening. Together, we'll create a learning environment where every student has what they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1772305367754,"projectUrl":"project/loaner-program-ensuring-every-student/9892926/","projectTitle":"Loaner Program — Ensuring Every Student Can Test and Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9459500"},{"teacherId":10037882,"projectId":9831192,"letterContent":"When the vibrant color printer arrived in my classroom through DonorsChoose, I felt a genuine sense of gratitude, not just for the equipment, but for the opportunity it represented. While many of our donors use color printers at home for family photos and documents, they may not realize the profound educational power this technology brings to the classroom. The colored printer allows me to create visually differentiated learning materials that directly support how students' brains process mathematical information. When students see angles color coded in different hues, they instantly distinguish between complementary and supplementary angles without needing lengthy verbal explanations. Shapes rendered in vibrant colors help students with visual processing challenges recognize geometric properties more easily. High quality prints mean students can annotate and mark up materials without losing clarity, turning passive worksheets into active learning tools. Most importantly, color printing creates materials that feel professional and engaging, signaling to students that what they're learning truly matters.\r\nThe colored printer has fundamentally transformed not just individual student motivation, but our entire classroom dynamic. Discussions are richer, peer collaboration has increased, and students who once sat passively now actively engage with concepts. I've noticed fewer behavior disruptions and more genuine mathematical curiosity. Thanks to this DonorsChoose project, my Geometry classroom has become a space where students don't just learn geometry, they celebrate it, create with it, and own their mathematical thinking. This printer has given my students permission to love mathematics, and that's a gift I'll never take for granted.","fullyFundedDate":1770675504663,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-geometry-to-life-with-vibrant-p/9831192/","projectTitle":"Bringing Geometry to Life with Vibrant Prints","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. M","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10037882"},{"teacherId":9621160,"projectId":10063557,"letterContent":"Your generous donation of MacBook has transformed my classroom into a hub of digital innovation and limitless learning possibilities for the students.
