Print. Inspire. Repeat.
Funded Dec 31, 2023Thank you so much for your generosity to our classroom. The color printer and ink has been amazing to have. Students use so much technology every day but since we are a title 1 school, we supply what they use. Once they go home, there isn't always the extras that students need, like printers, to complete tasks given at school. I am thrilled that I am able to privide my students the ease and understanding that there is a place they can go to print out what they need to complete assignments, projects or even just print out important documents that they or even their families may need.
Having a color printer is exciting to my students. I teach an all honor's program this year. These students are very serious about their schooling. This printer gave them the confidence and sense of calmness about their work and understanding that there will always be a place they can go to print out what they need. The best part is that the printer prints in color. They are able to use this printer not just for my English class but for all their classes.
All of my students benefit from this project however, one class in particular uses it more. They come during their lunch period to print out their needs for other classes and I am so happy they feel responsible enough to do this. It is my mission to provide all my students with what they need so they don't feel they cannot get something done. You have helped us do this.
Thank you again for your generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 4 other donors.Screen Time for Success!
Funded Mar 10, 2021Receiving this screen has been a game changer for me this school year.
My students are able to communicate efficiently and successfully with me because of the second screen. Having two screens allowed me to see all 25 of my eager students on one screen and my presentation of curriculum on the other. It was a real necessity for me to teach them what I needed to. Using two screens allowed me to see all my students' faces. It also allowed me to call on them to answer questions and, I was able to see if they were raising their hand because they had a question to ask me.
This also allowed me to check in on my students social emotional well being. We are coming to a close on this tricky school year and this second screen has enabled me to be more successful and really connect with all my students everyday. Thank you so much!”

Printing Colorful Memories!
Funded Mar 6, 2018Thank you so much for this generous donation. This technology has helped us so much! We were able to print out the pages of our yearbook as we were creating it. This allowed the students to edit the book as we went along. It also enabled the students to really see their creation and how the colors pop and make the book look amazing. Our students don't all have access to a color printer at home so this donation allows them the opportunity to really feel good about what they have created before the book arrives as a finished product.
The most exciting part of this generous donation is the ability to print out the whole book to be able to proof it in color. This is the first time we have been able to do this and it has really helped in the editing process. It gave the students the chance to really see the colors, the layouts, the pictures, the resolution of the backgrounds and then they were able to go back and fix whatever they needed.
The yearbook staff was really able to take leadership roles in the use of this technology. They knew it was there for them and they were able to create their work confidently, knowing they could print it, edit it, and then go back and change it and start the whole process again. They really appreciated having this awesome ability and it made the creation of our yearbook so much easier.
Once again, thank you for your generous donation. We have put it to good use and we can honestly say that this year's yearbook is a wonderful collaboration of talented students working together to create a book of memories for their peers.”

Smile and Say Cheese!
Funded Oct 29, 2015Thank you so much for the wonderful cameras for us to use to make our yearbook. These cameras allowed our students to get right into the action of our school community and document all the different things at the most opportune times. Students were able to grab the cameras and bring them with them to class, lunch, trips and use them to keep track of their memories.
I think what is most exciting about this new technology is students were able to learn how to use an actual camera. Most students are familiar with taking a picture with a cell phone however those pics don't have the best resolution. We can't always use those cell phone pics in our books. By using the camera, the students learned how to focus and zoom, how to be responsible for the battery life and then how to upload the pics into the website.
Many students enjoyed using this new technology. In particular, we were able to count on a few specific students to always keep track of and utilize the cameras at all different school events. They always made sure the cameras were taken care of but most importantly, used for many school events.
Thank you again for this generous contribution. We have definitely been able to create a wonderful book full of memories captured by our students because of your donation.”
