  • THE GREAT SCENT ESCAPE: A VOC LAB ADVENTURE!

    Funded Aug 1, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support. We have received all the materials for our project, and because of your help, this year every student will have their own supplies to participate in our hands-on activities.

    Last year, we struggled with not having enough materials for everyone. We had to work in groups, but now, thanks to your donations, that won't be a problem this time. We are truly grateful, and we're looking forward to starting our projects soon.

    Thank you again for supporting our classroom.”

  • Breathe Easy: Air Filtration for Healthier Learning

    Funded Sep 9, 2024

    The HEPA air filtration systems have revolutionized our classroom environment, creating a healthier and more conducive learning space for our students. Located near a busy freeway, our students were previously exposed to significant air quality challenges that could impact their health and academic performance. These air purifiers have transformed our classroom, providing a breath of fresh air – quite literally.

    The most exciting aspect of these air filters for our students is how they've directly improved their daily learning experience. Students have noticed a remarkable difference in air quality, reporting fewer respiratory issues and increased comfort during class. We've turned this technological addition into an innovative learning opportunity by incorporating the air filtration systems into our science curriculum. Students are now conducting hands-on experiments to analyze air quality, filter effectiveness, and the impact of environmental factors on indoor air – turning a health solution into a cutting-edge educational tool.

    Particularly remarkable has been the project's impact on students with respiratory sensitivities. Those who previously struggled with allergies or asthma have experienced significant relief, allowing them to focus more on their studies and participate more actively in class. Our science students are especially engaged, using the air purifiers as a real-world example of technology solving environmental challenges. They're learning valuable scientific skills while experiencing the direct benefits of clean air – bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.”

  • Clearer Learning for Bright Minds

    Funded Aug 10, 2024

    The new projector screen has been a game-changer in our classroom, transforming how our students interact with learning materials and technology. Previously, students struggled to view presentations clearly due to glare and poor visibility. Now, with this high-quality screen, our lessons come to life with crisp, vibrant images that capture students' attention and make complex concepts more accessible.

    Our students, particularly those in engineering and technology classes, are most excited about the screen's ability to display detailed visual content. For instance, when exploring climate and environmental topics, we can now project intricate diagrams, satellite images, and scientific data with unprecedented clarity. Students who previously had difficulty seeing small details are now fully engaged, asking more questions and showing increased understanding of the material.

    Some students have especially thrived with this new technology. --, a junior who initially struggled with visual learning, now actively participates in class discussions. He mentioned that the clear, glare-free screen helps him follow along more easily, boosting his confidence and comprehension. Similarly, our engineering students are using the screen to analyze complex technical drawings and presentations, which has significantly enhanced their learning experience.”

  • Aqua Adventures: Building Mini Ecosystems in Our Classroom!

    Funded Apr 22, 2024

    We are overjoyed to share with you the remarkable impact of "Aqua Adventures: Building Mini Ecosystems in Our Classroom!" on our students. Thanks to your generous support, our classroom is now home to a series of vibrant, aquatic mini-ecosystems that have taken our learning experience to a whole new level.

    How Technology Enhances Learning:

    The technology and materials from this project have enabled us to create dynamic, interactive learning environments. These mini ecosystems are equipped with sensors and digital monitoring tools that allow students to observe water quality, temperature, and other vital parameters in real-time. This hands-on approach has significantly enhanced our science curriculum, providing students with practical, experiential learning opportunities that complement theoretical knowledge.”

These students are inner-city, high-risk students that live in a city filled with dreams and filled with life's harsh reality. There school and city are a contradiction of the truth. It is a location where the imaginary high schools like the show "GLEE" are filmed, but it is an institution that holds the reality of inner city youth. They are surrounded by the glamor of what life can be and live in the truth of what it is not. They are humble, grateful kids that do not expect much and are thankful and also surprised when they receive anything.
