Your contributions of photography backdrops, lighting equipment, light box, steamer, and whiteboard have made a meaningful and immediate impact on my students' learning experience.\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom has been transformed into a more professional and creative space where students can fully explore their talents. The backdrops and lighting allow them to better understand studio techniques and produce higher-quality work. The steamer helps us maintain a polished, professional look in our setups. The white board will be used for yearbook interviews in the spring yearbook supplement. \r\nNot only do your donations help us produce more professional looking photographs, but they help reduce the extensive editing time that was previously required when we used only the standard classroom lighting and my whiteboard as a background. The cutouts that we produced for the yearbook this year look significantly better due to the studio lighting, and took us less than a quarter of the time to edit and cut out than in previous years. My students and I are thrilled.\r\nYour generosity not only provides us with valuable resources but also shows my students that their work and creativity are supported by a community that believes in them. This encouragement is invaluable and inspires them to take pride in their efforts and strive for excellence.\r\nI am excited to teach portrait photography to my Intro to Photography class later this spring. Now that we have the proper lighting and backdrops, I'm sure the students' portraits will be amazing and will allow their creativity to show in their work. With the new lighting and backdrop, I was able to photograph a student who missed picture day and could not afford to purchase photos. I would not have been able to achieve professional-looking photos without your donations. Thank you!\r\nOn behalf of all my students, thank you for investing in their education and creative growth. Your kindness and support truly make a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1767132901129,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboard-needs-a-break-from-being-a-ph/9776730/","projectTitle":"Whiteboard needs a break from being a photo backdrop!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9668719_orig.jpg?crop=756,756,x77,y86&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1774641389037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9668719"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89287","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1818,"numTeachers":111,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":89287,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Owen J Roberts High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Owen J Roberts High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/owen-j-roberts-school-district/owen-j-roberts-high-school/89287"}
