  • Empowering Tomorrow’s Innovators: A Tech-Powered Journey!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    We can't thank you enough for your amazing support through DonorsChoose. Your generosity means the world to us, and we're so excited to finally bring these new tech tools into our classrooms.

    We've got big plans for the Sphero Minis and the 3D printer in the coming weeks. Our students will be programming these little robots to navigate obstacle courses, put on light shows, and maybe even choreograph robot dances. It's going to be a blast watching them problem-solve and collaborate.

    The 3D printer is about to open up a world of possibilities. We've already heard some amazing ideas from our our students, from designing prototypes of cool gadgets to creating personalized gifts. We can't wait to see their imaginations come to life as they hold their creations in their hands.

    Thank you again for believing in our kids and investing in their future. We'll be sure to keep you updated on all the amazing things they accomplish with your help.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cortes

    I am incredibly grateful for your funding, which has transformed our Global Studies Magnet Program. Through sustainable gardening and environmental education, our students are thriving. They've began to cultivated crops, discovering the significance of sustainable agriculture and its impact on our planet. Witnessing their enthusiasm was truly inspiring! The materials you provided sparked curiosity and joy. Moving forward, we will delve into the topic of food security and exploring innovative gardening methods. Your support empowers them to be change-makers, shaping a sustainable future.”

  • Just the Basics for Learning!

    Funded Jul 27, 2022

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your generous support in funding the "Just the Basics for Learning!" project. With the supplies received from this project, I was able to provide my students with the tools needed to create and maintain their interactive history journals and to use for other class projects.

    These interactive journals are a valuable resource for my students to have as we explore U.S. History and other related content in our classroom. The journals and projects provide them with a hands-on, creative, and informative tools that will serve them all year long.

    Once again, thank you for your donations. We are very appreciative of your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Cortes
