Last Thursday we had our annual art show. I chose to make it a glow in the dark exhibit.....and it was EPIC. But none of that could have been possible without your very generous donation. With the donation I was able to get all the neon tempera paints, neon oil pastels, and neon tempera cakes that the students used to create their glow in the dark art pieces. \r\n\r\nAlso, because of your generous donation, we were able to create the most amazing clay mugs in winter, which we then used to have a hot chocolate party when they were complete. I was able to order clay pieces that are integral to be able to complete the whole clay process. It was a memory that will last for forever for many of these students. \r\n\r\nLastly, I was able to purchase prizes for my class prize bin. This has been a game changer. I pull three sticks a class which are my secret students. If they do well all class, at the end I name who is the secret student and they get to pick a prize. THEY LOVE THIS! and if I forget to pull sticks, the reminder me every class. \r\n\r\nI am really grateful, from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity you gave many of these students through your generous donation. It has gone a long way and created memories that will last a lifetime for many of these kids.","fullyFundedDate":1737560389735,"projectUrl":"project/every-child-is-an-artist/8814652/","projectTitle":"Every Child Is an Artist","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chalus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9212341"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42355","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":421,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":42355,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McKinley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McKinley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/davenport-community-school-district/mckinley-elementary-school/42355"}
