These contributions have brought tremendous value to our baking and pastry labs, allowing us to expand our curriculum in ways that were previously out of reach. Your support has created opportunities for hands-on, industry-relevant learning that directly elevates the quality of our program.\r\n\r\nWith the new equipment, our students have immersed themselves in exploring the science and technique behind a wide range of frozen desserts. They have experimented with textures, flavor development, and production methods, gaining both technical skill and creative confidence. Watching their excitement as they produce professional-quality ice creams and confections has been a highlight of our semester, and it would not have been possible without your generosity.\r\n\r\nBuilding on these new competencies, our students will soon be launching an on-campus ice cream cart, selling their products during lunch on designated Fridays. As part of this project, they will cost out ingredients, analyze margins, and determine profitable yet accessible pricing—a practical exercise in food entrepreneurship. This initiative will give them authentic experience in product development, cost control, and sales, all thanks to the tools and supplies you provided. We are deeply grateful for your support and the impact it has made on our students' learning.","fullyFundedDate":1764698796135,"projectUrl":"project/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for/9712776/","projectTitle":"I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chapman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8187628_orig.jpg?crop=170,170,x0,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728756435422","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8187628"},{"teacherId":9627608,"projectId":9537272,"letterContent":"My students are loving the ability to add color to their projects more effectively. Many of them feared adding color but after your donations allowed for us to do \"drills and activities,\" they are becoming more and more comfortable with the element. They were genuinely excited to all receive their own supplies and treat an honors class as just that. They take great care for the supplies especially knowing that it is tools that were not accessible to them before and knowing that people saw enough in them to donate them. We look forward to what they may do with projects to come and for years to come now that fear has been released from them!","fullyFundedDate":1764698796427,"projectUrl":"project/vibrant-voices-art-3-in-living-color/9537272/","projectTitle":"Vibrant Voices: Art 3 in Living Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harmon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9627608_orig.jpg?crop=989,989,x20,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754351675314","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9627608"},{"teacherId":8010944,"projectId":9609344,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

The pencils and sharpener help everyone stay ready and focused during lessons, and the wipes keep our classroom clean.
