With access to high-quality, color maps, students are better able to identify patterns, make connections, and engage more deeply with geographic concepts that can otherwise feel abstract. The addition of snacks has also been incredibly important—many of my students benefit from having something quick during the day, which helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors use technology at home, but in our classroom, tools like the color printer and laminator serve a very specific instructional purpose. The color printer allows me to provide clear, detailed maps that highlight important features like climate zones, elevation, and resources—details that are often lost in black-and-white copies. The laminator allows us to turn those maps into reusable, interactive learning tools. Students can write on them, collaborate with peers, and revisit them throughout the unit, which strengthens understanding and retention.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the ability to actively engage with these materials. They love using dry-erase markers on laminated maps and working together to solve problems or identify regions. I've seen several students, especially those who may struggle with traditional instruction, become more confident and involved when they can learn visually and collaboratively. Because of the materials provided, I've been able to create more hands-on, student-centered lessons that increase engagement and participation.\r\n\r\nI would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Atlanta Braves Most Valuable Teachers with Xfinity for supporting this project. Your generosity has made a real difference in my classroom, and my students are benefiting every single day from your investment in their success. A very special thank you as well to my mom, Edith Carter, for her generous donation and for investing in the future of my students—your support means more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1767032628992,"projectUrl":"project/print-create-inspire-learning-in-full/9761626/","projectTitle":"Print, Create, Inspire: Learning in Full Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3211505_orig.png?crop=710,710,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758818114549","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrskea"},{"teacherId":10397833,"projectId":9986630,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a printer and laminator to our classroom.

The laminator has been especially exciting—students love using the reusable learning tools we've created, such as vocabulary cards and interactive resources.\r\n\r\nThese materials have been particularly helpful for students who benefit from repetition and hands-on learning, giving them more confidence and opportunities to practice.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our classroom and helping create a more engaging learning environment for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1769177150260,"projectUrl":"project/printing-capability/9986630/","projectTitle":"Printing Capability","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Nadia Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10397833"},{"teacherId":9589507,"projectId":9055436,"letterContent":"Thank you for the donations toward my Positive Choices, Positive Progress Project. I have been able to implment behavior and progress monitoring strategies for my cohort of Autistic middle schooler. They understand when they participate with their teachers to complete progress monitoring; measuring prompting to complete non-preferred activities; they are rewarded with the items from you and experiencing positive growth in the classroom. \r\nWhen the packages arrived over a period of days, my students were excited. They had made requests but were not sure what I had included in the project. The knowledge and experience of knowing that not just their teacher was supporting them touched them, prompting questions about why. They wanted to know why they mattered to someone outside of this classroom. Some of them do not have access to the treats that were provided at home. They understand now that the community around them cares about how they perform in and out of school. \r\nThey will continue to work the rest of the school year to earn the incentives and practice using self-regulation to make better choices. Better choice will lead to better grades. These students will experience a better school year and future!","fullyFundedDate":1746785498253,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-positive-choices-that-create-p/9055436/","projectTitle":"Capturing Positive Choices that Create Positive Progress","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stovall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9589507_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x160,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752070778504","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9589507"},{"teacherId":6582096,"projectId":9368706,"letterContent":"Your contribution to our class library is invaluable. Reading for enjoyment for students is becoming more difficult to sustain with all of the other interactive ways to pass the time. The new books are relevant and focus more on graphic novels, which are a big hit with students now. These books reinforce character development and theme. These are a huge part of reading comprehension and text analysis. \r\n\r\nStudents are allowed to pick from the classroom library daily. We read in the mornings and for 5-10 minutes every class period. The sets that were purchased have multiple books in each series for the students to enjoy. They can not wait to read the next one. \r\n\r\nMany of the books are similar, so the students are more likely to try a new series because they liked one from the same genre. Every day, the students come in excited about the next book they can pick up because you were so generous in your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1748186276475,"projectUrl":"project/community-building-through-reading/9368706/","projectTitle":"Community Building Through Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Remus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6582096_orig.jpg?crop=424,424,x0,y67&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564637040635","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6582096"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6884","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":644,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":56.8,"schoolId":6884,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rawlinson Road Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rawlinson Road Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/rock-hill-schools-york-county-district/rawlinson-road-middle-school/6884"}
