Students used the supplies to create high-quality posters for our spirit weeks and to prepare for our Deck the Halls class challenge, where each grade level designs and decorates a hallway based on a holiday theme. Having access to durable paper, markers, adhesives, and specialty tools allowed students to plan, design, and execute large-scale decorations that truly transformed our campus. These resources gave students the ability to bring their ideas to life in ways that were visually impactful and aligned with the themes they selected.\r\nDeck the Halls is a major group project that requires teamwork, planning, and creativity. The materials provided allowed students to experiment, revise, and produce polished work that elevated their final displays. This challenge not only boosted school spirit but also helped students practice collaboration and leadership skills as they worked together toward a shared goal.\r\nAs we head into upcoming spirit weeks and end-of-semester activities, these supplies will continue to support student-led projects and help them create meaningful, memorable displays for our school community. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to make these events successful and engaging.","fullyFundedDate":1746462183887,"projectUrl":"project/building-spirit-one-poster-at-a-time/9278602/","projectTitle":"Building Spirit One Poster at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Romo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4012911_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502768750370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/talyha-romo"},{"teacherId":4012911,"projectId":9146955,"letterContent":"The materials from this project have had an immediate and meaningful impact on our classroom and school community. This year, we used the supplies to create a wide range of crafts that helped us celebrate the Class of 2025 in special and memorable ways. Students designed beautiful locker decorations, vibrant bulletin boards, and detailed posters that highlighted senior milestones. These projects brought joy not only to the seniors who were honored, but also to the students who created the décor—giving them a sense of pride, ownership, and connection to our school traditions. The crafting tools also allowed us to support Senior Sunset by creating props and picture-moment displays that made the event even more memorable.\r\nBeyond our senior celebrations, the materials added variety and creativity to our fall homecoming float preparation. Students had access to tools and resources that allowed them to experiment with new techniques, build more intricate float elements, and collaborate in ways that enriched their leadership and teamwork skills. Having high-quality materials meant they could focus on creativity and problem-solving rather than improvising with limited supplies.\r\nAs we move into the rest of the year, these materials will continue to support upcoming spirit weeks, rallies, and classroom projects. They have already expanded what students believe they are capable of creating. Your generosity provided more than supplies—it gave my students opportunities to build community, express school pride, and make lasting memories together. Thank you for helping make these impactful experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1742914375723,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-crafting-our-way-thro/9146955/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning: Crafting Our Way Through Spring","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Romo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4012911_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502768750370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/talyha-romo"},{"teacherId":1536754,"projectId":9595258,"letterContent":"Just a few days into having my classroom printer up and running, I have already had a constant stream of students asking to use it to print materials for their art projects. The print station can be one of many tools that art students use at varying stages of their process - for example, one student may be printing out completed works while another is printing templates to get them started. Recently one of my AP Studio Art students got a big boost when we realized she could print her sketches, transfer them to watercolor paper, and move forward with painting from there. She had been struggling with her next steps and now she has a reliable methodology and is making great progress.\r\n\r\nOur school is a hub for all kinds of things for our rural population - school is where students can interface with the college and career world, get regular meals, athletic opportunities, and of course learn all kinds of academic content. In the classroom, providing students with a broad range of tools and technologies makes me feel proud as a teacher. Students being able to access printed materials in my classroom, as well as being able to print materials like drawings or graphic organizers in real time, is a truly vital service on our campus.","fullyFundedDate":1755872224414,"projectUrl":"project/imprint-on-learning-real-time-materials/9595258/","projectTitle":"Imprint on Learning: Real-time Materials for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1536754_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479359778477","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/vtremblay"},{"teacherId":9811173,"projectId":9215809,"letterContent":"When our Cricut, laminator, and new art supplies arrived, my students could hardly wait to use these new tools.

Seeing their artwork transformed into real, wearable items will give them a huge sense of pride and confidence.\r\n\r\nThese resources will become the heartbeat of our classroom and leadership activities. Students are learning how to use the Cricut to create professional-quality posters and banners for school events, while the laminator will allow them to preserve and showcase their work. These tools won't just make projects look better—they will help students feel more capable, creative, and motivated. \r\n\r\nMy students are not just designing products—they're learning about planning, teamwork, and the impact their creativity can have on the larger school community.

Lastly, they created a presentation with pictures of their cars, data from their trials, and reflections on the connections to physics topics we have studied. \r\n\r\nWe do this project each year in the spring, right when our students are being subjected to multiple tests (state accountability and Advanced Placement). These projects are educational, engaging, and a nice switch from the strenuous and stressful academics of all these tests.\r\n\r\nIn class, we are studying electricity and magnetism while building the cars. Later we will move into studying electric circuits. In this final unit, they will build a house that they will wire with lights, switches, and a variety of circuits.

My classroom has truly been transformed by the addition of the colorful text, Macbeth: The Graphic Novel. This year, I have observed more participation and engagement with Shakespeare than ever before. Students who would have immediately shied away from the more archaic language found themselves intrigued by the visuals of the witches, the sword fights, and the burgeoning madness in the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. \r\n\r\nIn particular, my English learners (multilingual learners) were able to grasp the challenging text as well as my native speakers, producing writing that showed comprehension, critical thinking, and thoughtful analysis. Also, by including the original text, along with the creative visuals, they did not feel as though the text were being simplified for them to understand, which can often happen in classrooms working to expose all levels and languages to a harder novel or play. Students walked away from the text knowing that they were receiving the same language as anyone at any school, except far cooler and more artistically produced.\r\n\r\nFinally, the extra props I was able to purchase made the scenes come alive when we acted them out. Even older students love to dress up with wigs, costumes, and props, especially swords, to reinvent a Shakespearean scene. There were several days when the students were disappointed we weren't acting out a moment from the play. \r\n\r\nIt was a joy to witness their joy while reading Macbeth.","fullyFundedDate":1736979341676,"projectUrl":"project/macbeth-the-graphic-novel-original-tex/9047732/","projectTitle":"Macbeth: The Graphic Novel (Original Text)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bishop","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9891516"},{"teacherId":4012911,"projectId":8959659,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for helping bring our classroom hygiene station to life.

Students walk in with a little more confidence each day, knowing that they can discreetly grab whatever they need—whether it's a mint before a presentation, a hair tie before PE, or a cough drop to soothe a sore throat. It's been heartwarming to see how much care and dignity a small station can bring to a school day.\r\n\r\nWhat has surprised me most is how this resource has reached beyond just my own students. Word has spread around campus, and now students I've never had in class come by to take what they need. It's become a quiet act of community care, and my classroom has turned into a safe, welcoming space for so many. The most popular items? Definitely the mints, chapsticks, cough drops, hair ties, and brushes—little things that are making a big difference.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible.
