With this technology, students are now able to design and create their own t-shirts, giving them hands-on experience with digital design, collaboration, and problem-solving. Rather than relying on outside vendors or adult-led decisions, students take full ownership of the creative process—from brainstorming ideas to finalizing designs that represent their school community.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has empowered students to express school spirit, promote events, and build unity through student-created apparel. It has also strengthened leadership skills, creativity, and confidence, as students see their ideas come to life. This donation has not only enhanced Student Council activities but has also provided real-world skills that students will carry with them beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1759264366635,"projectUrl":"project/designing-logos/9751793/","projectTitle":"Designing Logos!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9730284_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740508230186","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9730284"},{"teacherId":5542027,"projectId":9782294,"letterContent":"On behalf of our Girls, Grit and Game program, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity.

They are learning about the strength and power that comes from being a girl—through art that lets them express who they are, and through the new skills they are gaining on the lacrosse field. Your kindness has opened doors for them, giving them opportunities to try new things, discover new talents, and see themselves as capable, courageous, and strong.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your support reaches far beyond the supplies themselves.
