Your kindness and thoughtfulness have made a meaningful and lasting impact on my students and on our daily learning environment. This donation is more than just a piece of equipment—it is a powerful tool that supports education, creativity, and student motivation.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving the printer, our ability to provide high-quality instructional materials was limited. Many learning activities had to be simplified or postponed due to the lack of access to reliable printing, especially for colored materials that are essential for visual learners. Because of your generosity, we are now able to print colored worksheets, hands-on activities, visual aids, and instructional resources that significantly enhance student understanding and engagement. Lessons have become more interactive, exciting, and accessible to all learners, especially those who benefit from visual and differentiated instruction.\r\n\r\nIn addition to daily classroom activities, the printer has allowed me to recognize and celebrate student achievements in meaningful ways. I was able to print certificates for students who excelled in their unit tests, acknowledging their hard work, dedication, and academic growth. These certificates may seem simple, but to the students, they serve as a powerful source of encouragement and pride. Seeing their accomplishments recognized in print has boosted their confidence and motivated them to continue striving for excellence.\r\n\r\nThe printer has also supported extracurricular activities, particularly our chess club. I was able to print certificates for chess club members, helping recognize not only their skills but also their commitment, discipline, and sportsmanship. These moments of recognition reinforce the idea that learning extends beyond the classroom and that effort and perseverance are always worth celebrating.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more positive, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment. Students feel valued when they see their work presented professionally and when their achievements are formally acknowledged. As a teacher, it is incredibly rewarding to witness how a single act of generosity can ripple through the classroom and positively affect so many young lives.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your donation has been used with great care and appreciation. It continues to serve as a daily reminder to my students that there are people who believe in them, support their education, and want them to succeed. Your kindness has strengthened our classroom community and has directly contributed to better learning experiences and outcomes.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your help and generosity. I remain committed to using this resource to its fullest potential as I continue working to make a positive difference—one day at a time—in the lives of my students. Thank you once again for your support, compassion, and belief in education. Your generosity will not be forgotten.","fullyFundedDate":1764651050994,"projectUrl":"project/printer-for-math-activities/9767237/","projectTitle":"Printer for Math Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. ACEDO","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10290496"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_107205","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":107205,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bayside Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bayside Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/virginia-beach-city-public-schools/bayside-sixth-grade-campus/107205"}
