This improved quality of materials helped students feel like real artists, increasing their confidence and willingness to experiment creatively. Lessons became more engaging, and students were able to focus on expressing ideas rather than struggling with worn or limited supplies.\r\nThe donor's support also signaled to students that their creativity matters. Knowing that someone invested in their artistic growth fostered a sense of value and encouragement, motivating them to take pride in their work. Overall, the contribution enriched the learning environment, supported creative development, and helped transform art class into a more inspiring and inclusive experience for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1755745608347,"projectUrl":"project/brushes-for-the-art-room-to-keep-creativ/9283782/","projectTitle":"Brushes for the Art Room to Keep Creativity Flowing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8605409_orig.jpg?crop=532,533,x0,y167&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695058318951","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8605409"},{"teacherId":10101490,"projectId":9525089,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for helping out my orchestras by providing the funds needed to purchase these rechargeable tuners, rosin, and mutes.\r\nThe materials purchased are used in our daily routine and tremendously reduce the amount of time we spend tuning. We have used the tuners in the classroom as well as on stage during concerts and they are such time savers! They are awesome!\r\n\r\nMy students and myself love the fact that they are rechargeable because students can easily plug it in during class time and it is ready to go for the next day. Our previous tuners were worn out and required batteries and it was such a hassle trying to find or purchase batteries constantly. These tuners have greatly and positively affected the flow in our classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWe have two big competitions coming up, UIL Solo and Ensemble and UIL Concert and Sight-Reading, the tuners are going to be a huge help on these events and I know will help my students be successful.\r\n\r\nThank you one again for donating to our project.

Their reactions ranged from awe to eager anticipation since they knew their much anticipated legacy ceiling tile project was going to be possible to make. They immediately began brainstorming ideas for their legacy ceiling tiles—an ongoing yearly project where students design and paint ceiling tiles that reflect their personalities, interests, or messages they want to leave behind for future classes. The paint opened the door to deeper creativity and expression, giving students the tools to bring their visions to life in a meaningful and lasting way.\r\n\r\nFor my senior students that have been taking Art their entire High School career. This is a special and powerful project. One that is very much anticipated. This project not only enhances our classroom visually but also builds pride and ownership among students. the project suggests a long-lasting contribution.

I've noticed increased engagement in class, improved moods, and even more consistent attendance—small changes that make a huge difference in the lives of young people. It may seem like a simple thing—just snacks—but to our students, it means someone cares, and that someone is donors like you!
