Having proper pencils, paper, and tools has helped students feel like real artists, boosting their confidence and excitement the moment they sit down to create.\r\n\r\nThese sketching sets have transformed how students approach art. They are more willing to experiment, practice, and take creative risks without fear of \"messing up.\" I've seen increased focus, pride in their work, and thoughtful conversations about technique and expression—things that simply weren't possible before. For many students, this is their first time using dedicated art supplies, and that experience alone has been incredibly empowering.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly supported creativity, self-expression, and joy in learning. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them discover their artistic voices. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and belief in the power of art education.","fullyFundedDate":1769177884108,"projectUrl":"project/sketching-sets-for-art-class/9809502/","projectTitle":"Sketching Sets for Art Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. HITCHCOCK","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2158526_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471540948253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/chadhitchcock"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44881","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":44881,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Croton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Croton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/brevard-public-schools/croton-elementary-school/44881"}
