  Thank you for supporting my project and helping to bring Arts, Media, and Entertainment career technical education to middle school students. We could not do this without your generosity.

• Jump Start a Career in Computer Sciences and Coding

  Funded Dec 5, 2022

  Thank you everyone for your generosity. Even though a device such as a mouse might seem trivial to those of use that use technology every day, you have no idea how much something so seemingly simple helps our students complete their work and hopefully encourages them to continue exploring the world of computer sciences.”

• A Modern Display for Future Filmmakers

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  Thank you once again so much for your generosity. Your donations will help our students see not only classic films and games the way they were meant to be seen, but also a chance to see the movies they make and the games they code on a modern display. Once again: thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

• Future Filmmakers Want to Get Back to SAFELY Making Movies

  Funded Dec 18, 2020

  As we slowly return back to normal, we cannot thank you enough for what your donation allowed us to do during what we love to do. Please know that your generosity allowed us to not only keep creating, but to do so safely.

  With your help, we were able to continue our school video series, Santana TV, during the pandemic. It was important during that period that our students feel a sense of community even if they themselves were not physically together.

  We were not only able to continue our show, but we also entered multiple film contests and created PSAs to support mental health.”

• Gearing Up for the 2019-2020 Middle School Volleyball Season

  Funded Nov 19, 2019

  Thank you all so much for making this happen! Team sports are so important to middle school students, yet are severely underfunded compared to high school athletics. With your support the girls will have a great season and our practices will go much more smoothly. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

• Help the Video Production Class Learn and Create

  Funded Sep 23, 2019

  Thank you so much for making this happen. My students will feel so much more professional with this equipment. Our goal is to give them as much experience as possible in video production and hopefully inspire them to pursue filmmaking as a career, hobby, or both. Your support goes a long way towards making that happen.”

• Volleyball Program Gives Students Chance to Participate in Team Sports

  Funded Oct 13, 2018

  Our volleyball program has benefited so much from the new balls and ball carts we received thanks to your support. Practices have gone much more smoothly and students have been able to practice in small group settings as there are now more balls to go around. We won our first 3 games which means regardless of the outcome of our remaining games we will have a winning season. While it is nice to win, the more important benefit is that our players have been having a great time being part of a team.

  This season, we have a nice mix of returning and new players. The returning players were particularly excited to see the new equipment as they remember how difficult practice was last year with fewer and lower quality balls. Even a simple piece of equipment such as the ball carts have made things so much better.

  Our next step is to continue growing our program. We now have former players who have gone on to play volleyball at the high school level. Some of these players had never played volleyball before being part of our program. A couple of them have come back to help our program. Thanks to your support, we are on our way to setting the standard for middle school sports programs in our district.”
