The students worked in groups and were able to bring their bluetooth keyboards and mice to the front of the classroom with them as they shared about the topic they had researched. Having an Apple TV made all of this possible. Thank you to those who contributed to make this possible.

On behalf of the students and faculty at American Leadership Academy, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation. Your contribution has significantly enhanced our educational resources, allowing us to create a more engaging and supportive learning environment. With the laminating sheets you provided, we have been able to preserve our educational activities, ensuring they are reusable and durable for future classes. This has been invaluable for maintaining high-quality materials over time.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the leveling games have been a tremendous asset in teaching students to understand and express their emotions effectively. These games have provided an interactive way for students to engage with emotional learning, promoting better mental health and emotional intelligence. The mental health books have been instrumental in offering students the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their personal challenges with confidence. Moreover, the headphones have facilitated independent study sessions, enabling students to focus without distractions and learn at their own pace. Finally, the photo printer has allowed us to create personalized flashcards, making studying a more dynamic and visually stimulating experience.\r\n\r\nYour support has played a crucial role in improving our educational tools and methodologies, directly impacting our students' learning experiences. We are deeply grateful for your investment in our school community and for helping us create a nurturing environment where students can thrive.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,\r\n\r\nJakenzie Jones American Leadership Academy","fullyFundedDate":1755715202553,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k12-education/9534637/","projectTitle":"\"USBE AI for K–12 Education\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8287528"},{"teacherId":6820392,"projectId":9518283,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more organized, engaging, and creative learning space! The new materials have already made a big impact on our daily routines and student motivation. One of the first things my students noticed—and got excited about—was the giant pencil hall pass. It quickly became a fun and effective tool for managing movement in and out of the room. They also love the gold star stickers, which we now use to recognize both academic effort and kind behavior. It's amazing how such a small reward can spark such big smiles.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have become essential for our individualized learning time, especially when students are working on AI-based lessons provided by USBE's K–12 Education program. One student who typically gets distracted easily told me, \"It's easier to think when it's just me and the lesson.\" That moment truly showed how meaningful your donation is. We've also kicked off our first hands-on project using the hot glue gun and colored paper. Their creativity is on full display, and it's clear these supplies are helping them take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nThese tools help keep us organized and focused, allowing more time for meaningful discussions and collaboration. Your generosity has given us more than just supplies—you've helped foster a classroom where students feel excited to learn, valued for their efforts, and empowered to explore.

Having access to this technology has made a huge difference for my students, especially during testing. The headphones allow each student to focus without distractions, which helps them better understand the questions and demonstrate what they truly know. For students who use text-to-speech or need directions read aloud, the headphones give them privacy and independence, which in turn boosts their confidence and often leads to higher test scores.\r\n\r\nBeyond testing, the headphones are also improving everyday learning. Many of my students use online programs to practice language skills, listen to stories, or engage in interactive lessons. They are excited because they can personalize their learning, moving at their own pace without being distracted by others. Several of my students who are usually hesitant to participate have become more engaged because the headphones make the learning feel like it's \"just for them.\"\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting things to see is how students light up when they realize they can work independently and succeed. For example, one of my English learners who used to struggle with reading comprehension now listens to passages with the headphones, follows along with the text, and answers confidently. Technology like this helps all students learn more effectively, but for some, it's truly transformational.","fullyFundedDate":1755704728363,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k12-education/9504281/","projectTitle":"USBE AI for K–12 Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9121098_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758299540018","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9121098"},{"teacherId":9121098,"projectId":9264097,"letterContent":"Having access to working technology has made an incredible impact on my students' confidence and success. Many of my English learners used to feel anxious when taking online assessments and WIDA testing because they struggled more with navigating the devices than with showing what they truly knew. Now, with reliable laptops and up-to-date software, they can focus on demonstrating their skills. The technology allows them to practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening using interactive tools that mirror the format of their actual assessments. This familiarity has reduced test anxiety, improved their digital literacy, and helped them perform more accurately—reflecting their real growth and potential.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about this new technology is the independence it gives them. They love using language-learning apps, voice-recording tools, and translation supports to check their understanding and practice at their own pace. One student, for example, began using the microphone feature to record herself reading passages out loud, and she now beams with pride when she notices her pronunciation improving. Others collaborate more confidently on projects, using shared documents and online discussion boards to communicate ideas both in English and Spanish.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students no longer see technology as a barrier—they see it as a bridge to success. Their confidence during testing and in daily learning has soared, and the excitement they bring to class each day reminds me how transformative your support has been.","fullyFundedDate":1746786098307,"projectUrl":"project/plug-in-to-learning-headphones-for-test/9264097/","projectTitle":"Plug In to Learning: Headphones for Testing & Language Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Oliver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9121098_orig.jpg?crop=200,200,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758299540018","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9121098"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31545","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1592,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":31545,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about American Leadership Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"American Leadership Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/utah-department-of-education/american-leadership-academy/31545"}
