I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my homeschool program. Without your generosity our homeschool students would not receive a well-rounded art experience. For those not familiar with homeschooling, our students can elect to participate in our enrichment classes once a week throughout the school year. We have a very small budget, so Donors Choose is an excellent way we can supplement our classes with supplies. I am attaching some photos from our art show we had in May of 2025. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!\r\n\r\nI plan on expanding our classroom resources using Donors Choose throughout the 2025-2026 school year. Last year I focused on painting & printmaking resources, this year I plan to focus on drawing & ceramics resources. If you are wanting to donate to my projects this year, keep a lookout for my name and know that every donation to our program enriches our students' art education in a situation where most don't receive one from home.","fullyFundedDate":1735691365039,"projectUrl":"project/art-education-with-less-frustration/8914785/","projectTitle":"Art Education with Less Frustration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cheryl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9823442_orig.jpg?crop=1473,1473,x0,y83&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756829948439","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9823442"},{"teacherId":9201480,"projectId":8897859,"letterContent":"It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward \"Playin' Pickleball\".
