When the materials first arrived, the students reacted with a mix of awe and excitement. They were immediately drawn to the rich, professional pigments and the substantial feel of the canvases. It was like giving a professional painter a whole new studio setup. The immediate shift in their approach was amazing—they began experimenting with more complex layering and blending techniques, taking greater artistic risks, and approaching their work with a renewed sense of professionalism and high expectation.\r\n\r\nA specific moment that truly illustrates the power of these materials was during the recent district-wide art show at the Wadsworth Atheneum. One of our students, using the variety of high-quality acrylic paints you provided, created a stunning, complex canvas painting that was awarded Best in Show! Beyond that significant recognition, another student was recently awarded a prestigious portfolio grant to attend a summer art program at a college for free, based on a body of painting work made possible by the quality of these materials. Seeing their finished canvases proudly displayed in community settings city-wide, winning awards, and now opening doors to higher education, has been an overwhelming source of pride and validation for these young creators.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a profound difference. You haven't just provided supplies; you've invested in our students' potential and dreams.","fullyFundedDate":1735392005224,"projectUrl":"project/bring-the-arts-to-life-at-hphs/8918768/","projectTitle":"Bring the Arts To Life At HPHS!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Daly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4984788_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y202&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1629986960186","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4984788"},{"teacherId":9106234,"projectId":9537920,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our DonorsChoose project.

The walkie-talkies greatly improved our ability to coordinate smoothly and ensure every participant's safe and timely dismissal.\r\nFast forward to 2025. The program needed more charging bases and walkie-talkies to supplement the existing units. With the help fo Donor's Choose, we purshased another set of the same walkie-talkies.
