With access to color printing, students take greater pride in their work, seeing their efforts come to life in a visually appealing format. This increased quality and personalization have boosted their confidence and motivation, encouraging them to put more effort into their projects.\r\n One of the most notable improvements has been with the Bento Box assignment. This project allows students to creatively express what they have learned by designing a collage-like visual representation on a Google Slide. The ability to print their work in color has transformed this process, allowing students to internalize their learning more deeply. As they stand before their classmates to present, they not only have their digital slide but also a tangible, high-quality printout in hand --reinforcing their learning and providing a sense of accomplishment.\r\n Beyond individual assignments, the color printer has improved the overall library environment by enabling the display of student work in a professional and aesthetically pleasing way. Whether showcasing research projects, book reviews or creative writing, printed materials in color elevate the learning atmosphere, inspire others, and create a sense of community. The impact extends into the classroom as well, where teachers can now print engaging, full-color instructional materials that capture students' attention and enhance comprehension.","fullyFundedDate":1733198658341,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-our-library-with-colorful-tool/8793749/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Our Library with Colorful Tools for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Warren-Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/warren-lewis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16718","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":452,"numTeachers":68,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"6.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":16718,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Young Mens Leadership Academy at Florence on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Young Mens Leadership Academy at Florence","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/fred-f-florence-middle-school/16718"}
