The yarn is used for the Design I & II class. The students learn the Bargello embroidery technique. The Level I class focuses on pattern and color contrast, while the Level II designs their very own flag. The students love seeing the assortment of color choices and get very excited to express themselves through color. I especially love this project because after they learn the basics in the technique the class no matter the size, age or gender eventually settles in and sits quietly embroidering. It really is a remarking sight.","fullyFundedDate":1775073100560,"projectUrl":"project/art-supplies-for-every-project-an-artis/10157383/","projectTitle":"Art Supplies for Every Project: An Artist's Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sitron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9283204_orig.jpg?crop=2067,2067,x28,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736796997066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9283204"},{"teacherId":9079792,"projectId":10382316,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our art studio! My students have been so excited to use the new materials, especially as we continue to create a classroom that resembles a true working studio. The cardboard cutters and cutting mats have already opened up new possibilities for students who love building and experimenting. Instead of being given the same project, students are designing their own sculptures, figuring out how to make their ideas work, and learning how to safely use the tools along the way. Seeing students gather around the sculpture station, sharing ideas and helping each other solve problems, has been such a rewarding glow this year.\r\n\r\nThe students were genuinely excited when they first saw the new supplies. Having materials that feel like the tools used by real artists and makers has made the studio feel more authentic and has encouraged students to take their ideas further. Our next step is to continue developing our individual studio centers and give students even more opportunities to choose their materials, explore different processes, and revise their work when something doesn't go as planned. Your generosity has helped create a space where students aren't just making art, they are learning to think, create, problem-solve, and see themselves as artists.

Being a school counselor, I often feel out of place asking/expecting support in the same way that teachers do. However, we serve MANY students (often times the whole school) and the reality is that we need lots of supplies to maintain what we need.\r\n\r\nI appreciate you all so much, and I feel very thankful.

Your generosity has made a real difference in how my students learn, create, and take care of our shared classroom space.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we were able to purchase storage containers that help us safely save and organize paint for ongoing and future projects. We also added storage trays that keep our ceramics work protected and manageable as students move through each stage of the process. The gloves for printmaking have made it possible for students to explore new techniques confidently and safely, without worrying about mess or injury. Even the phone pouch has supported learning by helping reduce distractions and creating a more focused environment for students.\r\n\r\nThese may seem like simple tools, but in our classroom they open the door to smoother routines, safer practices, and more meaningful creative work.

Your contributions may seem simple at first glance, but they make a meaningful difference in our students' daily experiences and overall well-being. Because of your donations, our classroom is better equipped not only for creativity, but also for comfort and care. Items like sticky notes and erasers help students stay organized and confident in their work, while supplies like tissues and disinfecting wipes help us maintain a clean and healthy learning environment. Your thoughtful inclusion of snacks such as crackers and fruit snacks ensures that students who may be hungry can stay focused and energized throughout the day. Even bandages play an important role; allowing us to quickly take care of small accidents so students can get back to creating without missing a beat. In an art classroom, where exploration and expression are encouraged, having these everyday essentials available removes barriers and allows students to fully engage in their creativity. Your kindness helps create a space where students feel supported, safe, and ready to learn. On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for investing in our classroom.

These snacks have helped our students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. Just last week, during a particularly long project, I noticed several students staying engaged and collaborating more enthusiastically than usual—simply because they had a healthy snack to fuel them. Small moments like these remind us that your contribution directly supports their learning and well-being.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was immediate. Many smiled, shared with friends, and even took a moment to express how much they appreciated having something to eat during the day. For some students, these snacks are more than a treat—they're an important part of feeling cared for and supported at school. Your generosity made that possible.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue integrating snack breaks thoughtfully into classroom activities to maximize focus and participation. Students are already talking about pairing their snack time with group projects, reading time, and creative activities, which helps them stay energized and engaged throughout the day.

Your generosity brought high-quality, professional tools into our classroom. The resources immediately elevated what my students are able to learn and create.\r\n\r\nWith the new screen printing press, aluminum frames, squeegees, palette knives, mixing trays, and the Baselayr screen rack, students were able to experience the real workflow of a print studio for the first time. They learned how to prepare screens, mix inks, register designs, and pull consistent prints—skills that simply weren't possible with our limited supplies before. The addition of table covers and Franmar eco-friendly cleaners (BEAN-e-doo and STRIP-e-doo) also helped us maintain a safe, clean, sustainable workspace that reflects professional art-making standards.\r\nThe moment students first walked in and saw the new press and racks set up was unforgettable. There was a collective gasp, followed by excited questions: \"Are we really using that today?\" \"Can I print my own design?\" And when they saw the stack of white 50/50 T-shirts in all adult sizes, many students commented on how good it felt to know that there was something for every body in the room. Your support helped us foster a more inclusive environment where all students felt represented and comfortable.\r\n\r\nOne of our most memorable classroom moments came during our first printing session: students collaborated to mix their own custom ink colors, tested them on scrap fabric, and then pulled their first successful prints. The pride on their faces, seeing their artwork transferred cleanly onto a shirt, was the perfect reminder of why this project mattered.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just give us equipment, it expanded what is possible in our classroom. You helped my students feel like true designers and printmakers, and you opened opportunities for creativity, confidence, and real world skill building.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our young artists and in the power of the visual arts.","fullyFundedDate":1758376672299,"projectUrl":"project/progress-in-printmaking/9436548/","projectTitle":"Progress in Printmaking","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Duran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9079792"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60850","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1569,"numTeachers":87,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.9,"schoolId":60850,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Holyoke High School-North Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Holyoke High School-North Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/holyoke-public-school-district/holyoke-high-school/60850"}
