You have touched the lives of many young artists. Many of these students have never had the opportunity to work with paint and giving them this has brought so much excitement in finding a new and fun way to create. Many of them have shown a great deal of talent in this area, talent they may not have otherwise discovered. Giving our children ways to create with materials that create new experiences is so important. It is such a blessing that there are people who will go put of their ways to fund our classrooms and our students futures.","fullyFundedDate":1734249316812,"projectUrl":"project/uncovering-hidden-talent-future-artists/8684908/","projectTitle":"Uncovering Hidden Talent, Future Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tatum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9694909"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11393","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":913,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":61,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.0,"schoolId":11393,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George H Gentry Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George H Gentry Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/goose-creek-consolidated-independent-school-district/george-h-gentry-junior-high-school/11393"}
