It was a chance for them to work on something non-academic and meditative. The boys did meticulous work in their coloring and cutting and I was so pleased with their attention to detail. \r\n\r\nIt is very gratifying to see their artwork around our classroom. We will absolutely continue to make use of these art supplies, and we thank you so much for contributing to this project.","fullyFundedDate":1754525383441,"projectUrl":"project/butterfly-mandalas/9418537/","projectTitle":"Butterfly Mandalas!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Webster","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8106300"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4748","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":129,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":89,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"11 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":4748,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Apollo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Apollo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/east-side-union-high-school-district/apollo-high-school/4748"}
