These devices are not just tools—they are access points to opportunity, equity, and real-world learning.\r\n\r\nRecently, my students used the laptops during a hands-on STEM activity exploring food webs and energy flow in ecosystems. As I watched them work, I saw something powerful: collaboration, curiosity, and confidence all happening at once. Students were researching organisms, building models, analyzing relationships, and most importantly—thinking like scientists.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, this is the only consistent access they have to a device. Because of you, they are no longer limited—they are empowered.\r\n\r\nYour donation allowed:\r\n- Students to actively research and build accurate food web models\r\n- Real-time collaboration and problem-solving\r\n- Engagement with digital resources that bring science concepts to life\r\n- Increased confidence in students who previously struggled without access\r\n\r\nBut beyond the academic impact, you gave my students something even greater—you showed them that someone they've never met believes in them.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, we live by the motto:\r\n\"We get it wrong now to get it right later.\"\r\n\r\nAnd because of your support, my students now have the tools to try, fail, learn, and succeed in ways that were not possible before.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students, in science education, and in the future.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nVicky Brigman\r\n8th Grade Science\r\nMac Williams Middle School\r\n\r\nBecause of you, learning is not just happening—it's thriving.","fullyFundedDate":1769192020665,"projectUrl":"project/laptop-loaner-for-learning/9927334/","projectTitle":"Laptop Loaner for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brigman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10291770_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759030657800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10291770"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1383","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1120,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.6,"schoolId":1383,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mac Williams Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mac Williams Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cumberland-county-schools/mac-williams-middle-school/1383"}
