We are constantly working on something that requires building or painting, and very often both building and painting! I believe that incorporating some type of art into anything we do makes the activity more engaging and helps facilitate memory. But art supplies are expensive, and so often we don't have what we need. Thank you isn't enough to express how excited we are to have BIG containers of primary colors that can be morphed into any shade that my students need or want. Thank you is all I have to give, so I hope that you can understand in a small way how grateful we are to have sponsors like you.","fullyFundedDate":1755725255098,"projectUrl":"project/bring-some-color-to-my-world/9599998/","projectTitle":"Bring Some Color to My World!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bosiak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp191546_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1585185703284","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/191546"},{"teacherId":8002005,"projectId":8863445,"letterContent":"I want to extend my sincere thanks for your generous donation, which made it possible for my students to fully engage in a meaningful cultural project centered around El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead).\r\n\r\nAs part of this project, students researched the traditions surrounding the celebration in Mexico and created their own ofrendas—memorial altars designed to honor and remember those who have passed. Each ofrenda included all of the traditional elements, with students thoughtfully selecting items based on their research and the cultural significance behind them.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, students had access to materials that brought their work to life. The clay allowed them to craft foods, drinks, and cherished objects that reflected the lives of those they were honoring. The tea candles and artificial cempasúchils added essential symbolism and atmosphere, representing light and scent that guide the spirits of loved ones back home.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the classroom was palpable—not only during the research and creation phase, but also when students shared their projects with others. We invited other classrooms to visit and vote on their favorite ofrenda. As visitors passed by, my students proudly explained the significance of the items they had chosen and the meaning behind the celebration. They truly became experts in this beautiful tradition.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping to create such an enriching, hands-on experience for my Spanish students. Your support made a lasting impact on their learning and appreciation for cultural traditions.","fullyFundedDate":1737221241605,"projectUrl":"project/the-after-party-el-da-de-los-muertos/8863445/","projectTitle":"The After Party, El Día De Los Muertos","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salinas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8002005_orig.jpg?crop=1526,1526,x180,y1497&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724765963179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8002005"},{"teacherId":191546,"projectId":8977936,"letterContent":"This has been such a fantastic experience for my students.

First , most of these students have never planted anything , don't know how to care for a plant and are unfamilar with the nutrients and sunlight levels that plants need.\r\n Additionally , they have never designed an experiment . This competition requires them to design one. They are excited and nervous , but enjoying the experience and learning a lot.

Because I have a Spanish I class we haven't used books in this class until this one, so I really didn't know how they would react. The students sat in groups and read a few pages at a time, discussing their initial take on the story Don Quixote. They discussed connections to real life and literature as if they were in a book club. I was pleased to see students trying to read the Spanish translation and discussing the structure of the sentences as well as comparing the vocabulary used in both languages.\r\n\r\nThis was an exciting experience for all of my students even those that don't like to read. Hopefully this will plant a seed for them to continue growing in their reading and their Spanish.","fullyFundedDate":1726689331690,"projectUrl":"project/i-am-i-don-quixote-the-man-of-the-manc/8710612/","projectTitle":"\"I Am I, Don Quixote The Man of The Mancha\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salinas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8002005_orig.jpg?crop=1526,1526,x180,y1497&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724765963179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8002005"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3037","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":3037,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincolnton High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincolnton High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/lincoln-county-school-district/lincolnton-high-school/3037"}
