We will be hosting a cap-decorating party in April where students will come together to share memories, design their caps, and reflect on how far they've come.\r\n\r\nFor many of our seniors, high school hasn't always been an easy road. The final stretch of senior year can feel overwhelming, but this event provided a much-needed boost of motivation and joy. Seeing their customized caps layout right in front of them will make the finish line feel real, tangible, and achievable. The room will be buzzing with pride, excitement, and a renewed drive to stay focused, keep their grades up, and finish the school year strong.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our classroom was so much more than just craft supplies—it was a message to our students that a whole community of people believes in them and supports their future.","fullyFundedDate":1789931390619,"projectUrl":"project/hs-graduation-cap-decorating-party-suppl/10339102/","projectTitle":"Hs Graduation Cap Decorating Party Supplies Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mads","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9308403_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695916546670","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9308403"},{"teacherId":10360062,"projectId":10241537,"letterContent":"The new file cabinet works so well! It is clean and everything slides easily and is not clunky. I feel great putting my very expensive music into this cabinet. I have been able to empty about 75 pieces out of our music library into the cabinet so far. It takes a lot of time and organization, but it is so worth it in the long run. Right now in orchestra I have about 25 piece pieces out to the different groups and so being able to open a drawer and access the originals is vital. It is making my life feel less hectic. Additionally, since I have somewhere to go with the music, I pull out of the yellow folders. I've been much more willing to go into the library and see what we have since I have a system where I can put it back. I am finding pieces. I had no idea that I had, it is very exciting! Choosing great music is such an important piece of what I do because it has to be something that inspires the students to practice and that they love to play. You were making that happen!

Students across all of my classes are enjoying easy, quick access to cold drinking water, and their excitement when they first saw the new cooler was wonderful to see. What once required students to leave the classroom and walk down a flight of stairs is now as simple as filling a cup and getting back to learning. This has been especially meaningful for my students in the Specialized Learning Center, who are enjoying having water readily available without needing to take an aide outside the room. \r\n\r\nThe water cooler has also become a valuable resource beyond our art classes! In Art History, we use the hot water to prepare tea and other warm beverages, creating a classroom routine that helps students feel grounded and focused as we explore art and history together.

While chargers may seem like a small resource, they make a tremendous difference in our students' ability to learn and participate throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nTechnology is an important part of how our students learn. Students use their Chromebooks to complete assignments, research topics, access instructional materials, practice language skills, and use tools such as translation, digital dictionaries, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text. Having reliable access to a charged device means students can use these resources when they need them instead of missing learning opportunities because their battery has run out.\r\n\r\nWhat is most exciting for students is simply knowing that they can count on having the technology they need. They no longer have to worry about watching their battery percentage or being unable to finish an assignment because their Chromebook is about to die. Having chargers available gives students the freedom and confidence to fully participate in technology-based activities.\r\n\r\nOur English language learners have especially benefited from this resource. Many rely on translation tools, language supports, and digital resources to understand classroom directions, learn new vocabulary, and communicate their ideas. Students who use accessibility features such as text-to-speech and speech-to-text also benefit from knowing their devices will remain powered when they need these important supports.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped remove a small but very real barrier to learning.
