Your support has truly elevated the learning experience in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThese tools have allowed my students to explore the art of metal casting in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. For many, it was their first time working with this process, and the opportunity to create their own rings through the lost wax method has been both exciting and empowering. They've gained hands-on experience with real-world materials and techniques that deepen their understanding of sculpture and craftsmanship.\r\n\r\nYour generosity not only provided the physical tools we needed, but also showed my students that their creative growth matters and is worth investing in. Thank you for helping make our classroom a place where artistic skills, curiosity, and confidence can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1737124132209,"projectUrl":"project/metal-casting-in-the-art-class/8807547/","projectTitle":"Metal Casting in the Art Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jorgensen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4973263_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535982869564","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4973263"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2400,"numTeachers":147,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":9555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Canyon High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Canyon High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/comal-independent-school-district/canyon-high-school/9555"}
