When I introduced them to our new technology, their excitement filled the room. Within minutes, microphones were in use and the keyboard was being played by the producers of tomorrow. We're already using the equipment to create original music and record sounds to edit on their Chromebooks. This technology has opened doors to learning experiences in music that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Our goal this year is to keep exploring the world of music creation using the incredible tools you helped bring to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1759849354295,"projectUrl":"project/a-complete-studio-experience/9583238/","projectTitle":"A Complete Studio Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5651567_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533824156478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5651567"},{"teacherId":9593443,"projectId":9217105,"letterContent":"When our middle school boys first found out they'd have the chance to play on their very own volleyball team, the excitement was unmatched. For many of them, it was their first time participating in an organized league—and they showed up ready to learn, lead, and grow. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide uniforms, equipment, and access to a league that gave these boys a sense of pride and purpose both on and off the court.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible. Students who had never played a sport before discovered new talents and developed teamwork, discipline, and confidence. Our practices became more than drills—they were safe spaces where the boys supported one another, built friendships, and took ownership of their success. One of our players, who had struggled with motivation in class, told me he \"finally had something to look forward to at school.\" That shift in mindset alone is priceless.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, these boys got more than a season of volleyball—they gained leadership skills, lifelong memories, and a stronger connection to their school community. We're so grateful for your support and can't wait to build on this foundation in the coming year.","fullyFundedDate":1744723971156,"projectUrl":"project/spring-league-ms-volleyball/9217105/","projectTitle":"Spring League MS Volleyball","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. James","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9593443_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y96&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736808454656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9593443"},{"teacherId":8468979,"projectId":9228822,"letterContent":"I am very grateful for the donations.

With your help as an Educator I am so grateful that your organizations have provided the resources that will fulfill this reward system. The students were very grateful as well. They truly love reward , especially food types. Middle school kids are really funny, Because they want to be adults one day and then little kids the next. The snacks provided reveals the little kid in them. It's truly rewarding to see the smiles on their faces.

Your generosity has brought excitement, creativity, and joy into our 6th grade classroom. As soon as the materials arrived, my students lit up with curiosity and couldn't wait to dive in. From survival guide journals to lockers filled with class-created hacks, the entire classroom has transformed into an interactive space inspired by Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. One of the highlights was when students got to design their own \"middle school survival tips\" and connect those ideas to real math problems—it made the learning both personal and practical.\r\n\r\nWe've used the new resources to create student-led group projects, where each team tackled a common middle school \"struggle\" using both academic strategies and creativity. Whether it was solving locker combination math or budgeting time between classes, students were deeply engaged and took pride in their work. One student even said, \"This doesn't feel like work—it feels like we're building something real.\" That moment reminded me how much impact your donation has made—not just in materials, but in motivation and mindset.\r\n\r\nNext, our students will be expanding their survival guide work into a digital format, adding in video tips and real-world applications for next year's incoming class. Your donation planted the seed for something that will grow and benefit not just my current students, but future ones as well.

The day the kits and snacks arrived, my students were beyond excited—some couldn't believe they'd get to build real roller coasters and wind-powered robots. We kicked off with a mini engineering challenge, and I watched students collaborate, problem-solve, and light up with pride as their creations came to life. The snacks have also made a huge difference. Many of my students come to class hungry, and having something nutritious to eat helps them stay focused and energized during these hands-on learning sessions.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on a project where students design their own amusement park ride using physics and engineering principles. These kits are giving them the tools to dream big and think like real engineers. Up next, we'll be exploring renewable energy by constructing and testing windbots! Because of your support, my students are learning, creating, and thriving in ways that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

The day the supplies arrived, my students lit up with excitement—they couldn't wait to use the new headphones during their lessons. One student said, \"Now I can finally hear everything without distractions!\" It was such a joyful moment.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the headphones during our small group rotations and independent work. They allow students to engage in digital lessons that are tailored to their individual learning needs, and I've noticed an immediate boost in focus and confidence. At the same time, having cleaning supplies available has helped us stay healthy during a tough flu season. Students take pride in keeping our classroom clean, and I've seen a positive shift in responsibility and care for their space.\r\n\r\nNext, we're using these tools to dive into interactive lessons in reading and math, where students can receive real-time feedback and work at their own pace. Thanks to your support, we're building stronger, more independent learners every day.
