  • Replacements to Keep on Teching!

    Funded May 23, 2024

    On behalf of the students, teachers, and staff at John D Shoop Elementary , I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support in providing new headphones, keyboards, and mice for our students. Your contribution has made a tremendous difference in their learning experience.

    In today's digital age, access to quality technology is essential to education, and your donation has ensured that our students are fully equipped to thrive in this environment. The new equipment is already being used in classrooms, where it's making a significant impact on student engagement and learning. Whether it's helping students practice reading comprehension, enhance math skills, or explore creative projects, the tools you've provided allow them to focus, participate more actively, and explore their potential.

    Many of our students come from diverse backgrounds, and not all have access to these resources at home. Your thoughtful donation has leveled the playing field, allowing every student to have a richer, more inclusive learning experience. The students are excited to use the new tools, and it has created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and motivation across the school.

    We deeply appreciate your kindness and belief in the power of education. Your support is helping us cultivate the next generation of learners, thinkers, and leaders. From all of us at [School Name], thank you for investing in our students' futures.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Austin

  • "Dash" Into Computer Science by Programming Robots

    Funded Jul 11, 2024

    There are not enough words to express my joy, gratitude, and thanks for your generous donations to my class project. My students and I are so very appreciative of your support for creative, hands-on techniques for learning. We are looking forward using the Dash Robots as we learn Computer Science and Programming! These devices will be a great tool as we explore coding in the classroom. We can't wait to share some pictures! Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Austin

The students that participate in the AYV after school program are in grades 5-8. These students are enthusiastic and highly motivated about learning new things, especially forms of technology. In the past two years, the Adobe Youth Voices program has given them the opportunity to present their projects to audiences at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Science and Industry. We are located in an urban area where ninety-five percent of our students come from low income families. Our school's goal is to integrate technology throughout the curriculum. We try to promote literacy and technology in order for our students to compete globally.
