One of our first major projects involved hands-on business communication activities, where students created their own brand kits and practiced presenting their ideas using the new materials. The tools allowed them to collaborate more effectively, stay organized, and feel like real professionals as they built out their projects. Watching them lean into the creative process with confidence has been such a rewarding experience.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their reaction was priceless—true excitement. Many of them immediately started brainstorming ideas and asking if they could try out the new supplies right away. For some, having access to high-quality tools made them feel genuinely valued and capable, and several students commented that it made the classroom \"feel like a real business workspace.\" Their enthusiasm set the tone for everything that followed.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing our work on a multi-step project where students develop and pitch their own product or brand. The new resources will support them as they move into the next phase: refining their designs, creating marketing materials, and preparing to present their final pitches. Thanks to these donations, my students now have the supplies they need to bring their ideas to life, and I can't wait to see how far they go with them.","fullyFundedDate":1757421787950,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-oppedisanos-updated-professional-cl/9582594/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Oppedisanos Updated Professional Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Oppedisano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10172610_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755038291311","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10172610"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83131","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1628,"numTeachers":95,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":83131,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about H Frank Carey Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"H Frank Carey Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/sewanhaka-central-high-school-district/h-frank-carey-junior-senior-high-school/83131"}
