This upgrade has truly transformed our mini FabLab. The touchscreen makes learning feel more hands-on and engaging, and the updated system means we can finally run programs and projects without the frustration of slow or outdated technology.\r\n\r\nMy scholars are gaining confidence as they practice digital skills that will carry them far beyond our classroom. From exploring design and coding to researching and creating, they are discovering just how powerful technology can be when it works with them instead of against them. Most importantly, they feel valued—knowing that someone believed in their potential enough to provide such a meaningful resource.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students the tools they need to dream bigger, create more, and step boldly into the future.

With the sublimation printer, paper, and ink you provided, we were able to launch our Climate Justice Design Lab—a space where middle school Gifted ELL students became researchers, designers, and advocates for change.\r\n\r\nThis project allowed them to dive into environmental issues that impact their daily lives, explore sustainable solutions, and design powerful products that amplify awareness in our school and community. The excitement of seeing their ideas come to life on reusable, eco-friendly items was both rewarding and inspiring—not just for them, but for everyone who witnessed their creativity and passion.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, students will continue to:\r\n\r\nExplore Environmental Science & STEM: Investigating waste, pollution, and climate change, with a focus on how these issues affect low-income and marginalized communities like their own.\r\n\r\nEngage in Sustainable Design Thinking: Using sublimation to create meaningful alternatives to single-use plastics.\r\n\r\nExamine Environmental Injustice: Understanding how climate change and environmental hazards disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income neighborhoods.\r\n\r\nExpress Their Voice for Justice: Designing and printing bilingual messages to promote clean air, clean water, equity, and environmental activism.\r\n\r\nCreate Culturally Powerful Designs: Celebrating identity and heritage while advocating for healthier, sustainable communities.\r\n\r\nCollaborate and Inspire: Sharing their designs with peers and the school community, sparking conversations around climate justice.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't just fund materials—it empowered students to use science, art, and advocacy to address real-world issues that matter deeply to them. You gave them the tools to find their voice and the confidence to know that their voice matters.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, thank you for believing in them and for investing in a project that will continue to inspire learning, creativity, and justice for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1748376323165,"projectUrl":"project/a-student-led-climate-justice-lab-part/9330868/","projectTitle":"A Student-Led Climate Justice Lab - Part II","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gamble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2218800_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506354198147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lorna-gamble"},{"teacherId":2218800,"projectId":9330740,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students launched a Climate Justice Design Lab that combined environmental science, sustainability, creativity, and advocacy in powerful ways. With the sublimation printer, tumblers, sublimation paper, ink, and the necessary inkjet cleaner to keep our printer functioning at its best, our middle school Gifted ELL students were able to design and produce durable, reusable products that not only reduced waste but also carried meaningful messages.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, students went far beyond creating items—they became changemakers. They researched pressing environmental issues, from air pollution to water contamination, and learned how climate change and environmental hazards disproportionately impact low-income communities and communities of color. They connected these lessons to their own lived experiences and cultures, recognizing that climate justice is also a matter of equity and representation.\r\n\r\nWith these insights, students designed reusable sublimation tumblers that celebrated identity and heritage while amplifying urgent calls for clean air, clean water, and sustainable living. Many of their designs featured messages in both English and their home languages, making their voices resonate across cultures. Each product was not just an alternative to single-use plastics, but also a powerful conversation starter on climate justice within our school and community.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, students gained confidence in their ability to use STEM and design thinking for real-world impact. They learned to collaborate, advocate, and inspire others. Your support allowed them to see that their creativity and voices matter in building a more just, sustainable future.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us give students the tools to innovate, to speak up, and to lead. The impact of this project will echo far beyond our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1748492410515,"projectUrl":"project/a-student-led-climate-justice-lab-desig/9330740/","projectTitle":"A Student-Led Climate Justice Lab: Designing for Change","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gamble","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2218800_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506354198147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lorna-gamble"},{"teacherId":2218800,"projectId":9125941,"letterContent":"From Our Hearts to Yours:\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness and generosity, my classroom has become more than just a place for learning—it's become a refuge. A place of calm. A space where my students, many of whom carry burdens no child should have to bear, can breathe, create, and simply be.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies you provided—colored gel pens, teen coloring books, scissors, paper, and folders—have given my students something truly powerful: a voice. A gentle outlet to express emotions they may not have words for. I've watched anxious hands become steady through coloring, quiet minds come alive while journaling, and overwhelmed hearts find moments of peace in crafting.\r\n\r\nIn this small, sacred space we've built together, students know they are safe. They know they are valued. They know they are not alone.\r\n\r\nOne student recently shared, \"When I'm coloring or writing with the gel pens, I forget about everything that makes me sad. It's like my heart gets quieter.\"\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just supply materials—it helped build a healing environment where students are free to show up as their whole selves. Where creativity meets compassion. Where even the hardest days can end with a smile, a spark of imagination, or a quiet moment of peace.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart—and on behalf of every student who now walks into this room feeling just a little lighter—thank you.
