Thanks to your generosity, that belief came to life in my classroom every single day.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate. As soon as my students saw the new art supplies, they couldn't wait to create. What amazed them—and me—was that even though everyone started with the same materials, every piece of artwork was unique. Their creativity, personalities, and voices shined through in every project. \r\n\r\nThroughout the year, these supplies became an essential part of our learning journey. Art provided my students with a powerful way to express their ideas, communicate their thinking, solve problems creatively, strengthen fine motor skills, and build confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nYour generosity did so much more than provide materials—it gave my students the tools to dream, create, explore, and discover the power of their own voices. Because of your support, they were able to experience the joy and confidence that come from bringing their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping them discover just how powerful art can be.","fullyFundedDate":1671564066553,"projectUrl":"project/the-power-of-art/6804088/","projectTitle":"The Power of Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez's Classroom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3928605_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783384068448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thetealroom"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26689","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":781,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"28.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.8,"schoolId":26689,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gallatin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gallatin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/downey-unified-school-district/gallatin-elementary-school/26689"}
