Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we have been able to provide our students with essential art supplies and materials that allow them to explore their creativity, express themselves, and develop their artistic abilities. Many of our students come from low-income households and may not have access to these resources outside of school. Having the necessary materials available has given them opportunities to experiment with different artistic techniques, including painting, drawing, mixed media, and hands-on crafting. Our classroom is now filled with colorful student artwork that reflects their individuality, cultural backgrounds, and imagination. Most importantly, students are excited to see their creations proudly displayed throughout the classroom and school.\r\n\r\nBeyond providing supplies, this project has helped build our students' confidence, encourage collaboration, and create a sense of belonging. Art has become more than just an assignment; it is an opportunity for students to express their emotions, discover hidden talents, and take pride in their accomplishments. We have witnessed students become more engaged, motivated, and willing to try new things. Their artwork has also helped beautify our school community through creative bulletin boards, cultural celebrations, and classroom displays. For some students, the art room is a safe space where they can relax, express themselves freely, and feel successful. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this possible. Your generosity has not only improved our art classroom but has also helped inspire the next generation of creative thinkers, artists, and dreamers.","fullyFundedDate":1783734060498,"projectUrl":"project/crafting-art/10337033/","projectTitle":"Crafting Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eberhardt & Ms. Andrew","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10531100_orig.jpg?crop=3213,3213,x0,y535&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785708251357","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10531100"},{"teacherId":10292774,"projectId":9905039,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our photography club project and helping us purchase multiple cameras for our students. Your generosity has made an incredible impact on our school community. Every Friday, students gather after school to learn photography skills, practice using the new cameras, and build their confidence and creativity. Because of your support, more students continue to join the club and discover a passion for photography and media.\r\n\r\nThe cameras have also allowed our students to become actively involved in school events and activities. Club members have taken photos at school banquets, sports events, senior activities, and multiple media days for our athletic teams. Watching the students improve their skills and take pride in their work has been truly rewarding. One student even shared that photo club is the main reason he stays after school on Fridays, and that it has given him a meaningful way to honor his brother, who also loved photography. Stories like this remind us how much opportunities like these matter to students. Thank you again for believing in our students and helping us create a space where they can learn, grow, and feel connected.","fullyFundedDate":1771009997186,"projectUrl":"project/cameras-for-our-photography-club/9905039/","projectTitle":"Cameras for Our Photography Club!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Silverman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10292774"},{"teacherId":9203651,"projectId":9979710,"letterContent":"The addition of the new Chromebooks and charging cart has fundamentally shifted how my students engage with their daily lessons. In a modern classroom, these devices aren't just high-tech notebooks; they are gateways to collaborative learning that would be impossible with paper and pencil. For example, students are now using the Chromebooks to access interactive simulations and real-time feedback platforms, allowing me to tailor my instruction to their specific needs on the fly. Having a dedicated charging cart ensures that the technology is always ready to go, eliminating the \"dead battery\" downtime that used to stall our momentum and keeping our workspace organized and professional.\r\n The most exciting aspect for my high schoolers has been the transition to a more professional, \"college-ready\" workflow. At this age, they value autonomy, and having these Chromebooks allows them to manage complex projects and conduct high-level research just as they would in a university setting. While the tech has energized the whole room, I've seen the most profound impact on my students who typically struggle with organization or executive functioning. For them, the digital platform removes the \"paper trail\" chaos that often leads to missed assignments; instead, they are staying on top of deadlines and engaging in peer-review sessions with a level of confidence I hadn't seen before.","fullyFundedDate":1768499042843,"projectUrl":"project/emergency-chromebooks-for-constant-learn/9979710/","projectTitle":"Emergency Chromebooks for Constant Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Robinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9203651_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751045405218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203651"},{"teacherId":10281661,"projectId":9760936,"letterContent":"I truly appreciate the gift that you have granted to my classroom. Previously, narrative lessons were ineffective with the materials I had access to (monotonous, short form), but with access to these graphic novels I can create lessons that can expand their reading ability that is engaging and therefore more effective. My students are practicing concepts by reading materials which lower the cognitive load. They are improving their listening skills during fun games and of course they are fueled for the day with snacks. \r\n\r\nMy students have been enjoying using the graphic novels to make predictions in story based and debating if the predictions will come through by citing evidence from the text. I lead a small group instruction and because each child has their own book to read, they also share the events in the book in a short story retell activity. This all happens in one session/period so it's been really productive! I also purchased the game Pirate Island to work on auditory processing and social skills in a competitive, engaging game. When needed my students can select from snacks gifted to keep them fueled.","fullyFundedDate":1764598086440,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-novels-to-inspire/9760936/","projectTitle":"Graphic Novels to Inspire","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10281661_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y200&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758813996008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10281661"},{"teacherId":9203651,"projectId":9436787,"letterContent":"The newly established hygiene stations, stocked with Kleenex, hand sanitizer, deodorant, deodorant wipes, pads, tampons, lens wipes, band aids, and alcohol prep pads, and pimple patches are already making a significant difference in our classroom environment. For me, as the teacher, the greatest change is the ease with which I can address student needs discreetly and immediately, allowing us to maintain focus on learning. Students are using the hand sanitizer and tissues regularly, and the personal hygiene items like deodorant and menstrual products are available in a way that preserves their privacy and dignity, ensuring they don't have to miss valuable class time due to minor needs. A specific moment that highlights the success of this resource occurred during a demanding group project presentation. One student, clearly distracted, was able to quietly access a band-aid from the station and quickly rejoin their group without drawing attention or causing a disruption, demonstrating how these simple resources support an uninterrupted, productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe student reaction to the initial arrival of the materials was one of pleasant surprise and, perhaps more importantly, relief. When the boxes first arrived, there was a visible shift in the energy—especially among the older students who are more keenly aware of these needs. Many students commented on how \"cool\" it was to have a designated, easily accessible place for these items. The most impactful reaction came in the form of quiet acknowledgment; the students didn't make a fuss, but the immediate, respectful utilization of the items showed they understood the purpose and appreciated the thoughtful provision. It communicated a subtle message of care and support, reinforcing the idea that our classroom is a safe space where basic needs are acknowledged and met.\r\n\r\nThe next step is for me to continue to provide a safe and welcoming space for students to access these hygiene items and allow them to stay in school.","fullyFundedDate":1758841938487,"projectUrl":"project/empower-thrive-high-school-hygiene-pr/9436787/","projectTitle":"Empower & Thrive: High School Hygiene Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Robinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9203651_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751045405218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9203651"},{"teacherId":9935005,"projectId":9247780,"letterContent":"Here are some ways students enjoy this new space. \r\n\r\n1. **Relaxation**: Students can unwind in a quiet environment, reducing stress and anxiety.\r\n\r\n2. **Mindfulness Activities**: Engaging in activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can enhance their focus and well-being.\r\n\r\n3. **Nature Elements**: Incorporating plants, natural light, or water features can create a calming atmosphere.\r\n\r\n4. **Comfortable Seating**: Cozy chairs or bean bags can encourage students to spend time there, reading or reflecting.\r\n\r\n5. **Creative Outlets**: Providing art supplies or writing materials can allow students to express themselves in a peaceful setting.\r\n\r\n6. **Social Interaction**: A tranquil zone can foster positive social interactions among students, promoting friendships and support.\r\n\r\nIf you have a specific context in mind, feel free to share!","fullyFundedDate":1746453710952,"projectUrl":"project/tranquility-zone-your-mindfulness-retre/9247780/","projectTitle":"Tranquility Zone: Your mindfulness Retreat","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rambhajan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9935005"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25363","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":546,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":70,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":25363,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brooklyn Collegiate Preparatory High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brooklyn Collegiate Preparatory High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/brooklyn-collegiate-high-school/25363"}
