It sparked great conversations and set the tone for what we want this garden to represent on campus.\r\n\r\nWhen they received the items they were so excited! Several students immediately started talking about what they wanted to paint and sketching out ideas. The high quality paints, brushes, and supplies made them feel like real artists, and you could see their confidence grow as they realized how much creativity the materials allowed.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue painting additional pavers to form a colorful pathway leading into the Kindness Garden. Once all the pavers are sealed and ready, we'll begin placing them in the garden area. Students are also brainstorming ways to incorporate more student-made art and kindness messages throughout the space. Thanks to your support, they feel empowered to continue building a welcoming area that will brighten our school community for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1759657953177,"projectUrl":"project/planting-kindness/9787053/","projectTitle":"Planting Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. V","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298667_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759429801845","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298667"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40226","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1447,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":40226,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lake Weir High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lake Weir High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/marion-county-public-schools/lake-weir-high-school/40226"}
