Your donation is already transforming the way our students create podcasts, record interviews, and produce broadcast-quality videos.\r\n\r\nAlthough the studio project is not fully complete, the impact of your gift has been immediate and significant. Before installing the soundproofing, our students often had to compete with hallway noise, classroom chatter, and the natural echo of a busy learning space. Now, they are recording clearer audio, producing more professional segments, and gaining confidence in their work. The difference in sound quality is remarkable—and so is the difference in student pride.\r\n\r\nMule Time Media is entirely student-led. Our middle school journalists plan, write, record, edit, and publish content that informs and inspires our school community. Because of your generosity, they are learning what it truly means to work in a professional newsroom environment. They are experiencing firsthand how details—like sound quality—matter in storytelling.\r\n\r\nMore than foam panels on a wall, your gift represents belief in our students' voices. You are helping them see that their work is worth investing in. That lesson will last far beyond middle school.\r\n\r\nWe cannot wait to share the final, completed studio with you and continue showing how your generosity is shaping the future of student journalism at Mule Time Media.","fullyFundedDate":1765470758426,"projectUrl":"project/silencing-the-studio-building-a-better/9953555/","projectTitle":"Silencing the Studio: Building a Better Broadcast Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Boylan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10380284"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9351","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1101,"numTeachers":75,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":9351,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alamo Heights Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alamo Heights Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/alamo-heights-independent-school-district/alamo-heights-junior-high-school/9351"}
