Your support has directly translated into hands-on learning experiences that have ignited creativity and problem-solving abilities, enriching our curriculum in ways we couldn't have imagined.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your contributions is evident in the students' newfound abilities in organization, communication, and design. Through LEGO projects, they've learned to meticulously plan and execute complex builds, requiring them to collaborate effectively and articulate their ideas clearly. The process of designing stage sets and props with LEGOs has allowed them to visualize their concepts in three dimensions, honing their spatial reasoning and design skills. Moreover, the time-sensitive nature of these projects has instilled a strong sense of time management, crucial for the fast-paced world of theatre production.\r\n\r\nUltimately, your generosity has empowered our students to learn by doing. They've discovered the power of collaboration, the importance of detailed planning, and the satisfaction of bringing a vision to life. The skills they've developed through these LEGO-based activities will serve them well, not only in technical theatre but in all aspects of their lives.

When my kids saw the materials for the first time, they were so excited. A lot of them were excited to get their pens out and start drawing, writing and making art. Some were lost in thought, while others were excited to show their friends their work. When they learned they could say what they wanted without worrying about grades or other people's expectations, the mood in the classroom changed. It was a powerful moment of calm and creation that they really needed as they dealt with the stress of the school year.\r\n\r\nSo far, we have used the materials and tools to help students make personal word art projects. Each student chose a word that inspired them and used color, imagery and figurative language to make a picture of what they believe the word means. This activity made them think about their feelings and goals and helped them to understand things better in a communal way. They shared these projects with the class and came to the realization that most of them are going through the same things, having the same thoughts, fears and beliefs. These supplies have given them a much-needed way to be creative, whether they're drawing a literary idea, coming up with ideas for an essay through sketching, or just pausing to think and start over. We are so thankful to have a safe place where kids feel seen and heard because of your help.","fullyFundedDate":1731858375931,"projectUrl":"project/expression-through-imagination-and-art/8648418/","projectTitle":"Expression Through Imagination and Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. English","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7951832_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628437093738","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7951832"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74177","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2213,"numTeachers":103,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.2,"schoolId":74177,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Monarch High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Monarch High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/broward-county-public-schools/monarch-high-school/74177"}
