Your incredible generosity in funding our project, \"Capturing Creativity: Digital Documentation for AP Portfolios,\" has solved a major hurdle in our classroom and provided a true game-changer for our students.\r\n\r\nAs you know, for an artist, the portfolio is their story. With the recent discontinuation of personal phone use at school, our students suddenly lost their primary tool for documenting their creative journey—a vital step for the official AP submission. This created a significant gap, threatening their ability to showcase their full scope of work, growth, and process.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, that challenge is now history! We have received the two new iPads, and they are instantly becoming the core tools for digital portfolio creation and critical reflection.\r\n\r\n\r\nYou haven't just provided technology; you have provided our students with their future voice. You have given them the tools necessary to compete at the highest level and present themselves as the thoughtful, skilled artists they are.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in their artistic careers.","fullyFundedDate":1759266557896,"projectUrl":"project/digital-portfolios-for-avid-artists-emp/9627846/","projectTitle":"Digital Portfolios for Avid Artists: Empowering Creativity With iPads","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6951220"},{"teacherId":10175356,"projectId":9626762,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation of baking supplies, our special education students experienced more than just a fun activity—they gained valuable life skills, confidence, and joy.\r\nBaking together has become a highlight of our week. It's a hands-on way for students to practice math, follow directions, improve fine motor skills, and collaborate with peers. For many, it's also a sensory-rich experience that helps with regulation and engagement. The smiles, laughter, and pride they show when sharing their creations are priceless.\r\n\r\nYour support made it possible for every student to participate fully, regardless of ability or background.

They were eager to eat all the treats themselves, but we've used this opportunity to teach them that we're here to sell so we can make money for our class field trips.

Your recent donation has made a tangible and immediate difference in our self-contained special education classroom by providing our students with new, flexible seating options.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, movement is not a distraction but a vital tool for learning and focusing. The traditional chairs in our classroom often made it difficult for them to stay engaged. Thanks to you, we were able to purchase a variety of seating, including rocking chairs, bouncing balls, and other dynamic options, that allow for gentle, supportive movement throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe impact began even before the seats were in place. Our students took great pride in practicing their direction-following skills as they helped assemble the new furniture. This hands-on experience gave them a personal connection to the project. Once built, they spent time exploring each option until they found the one that best suited their needs, with some even choosing to switch their seat style daily.\r\n\r\nThe immediate benefits were remarkable. We've seen students who often needed to take walk breaks outside the room now able to extend their time on a task. Their rocking or bouncing has become a quiet, effective way to regulate their focus and energy, allowing them to remain engaged and present during class instruction. This flexible movement has not only helped them stay in the room but has also allowed them to participate more fully in their own learning.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our students has truly empowered them, providing a resource that directly supports their academic success and well-being. Thank you again for believing in our students and for your invaluable support.","fullyFundedDate":1695423512073,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/7865996/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fuchs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8972591_orig.jpg?crop=745,745,x165,y975&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755660958862","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8972591"},{"teacherId":8972351,"projectId":8885856,"letterContent":"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our generous donors for supporting the arts and helping bring creativity to life.
