The new kiln shelves have made a wonderful difference by giving us a more reliable and efficient way to fire our students' pottery. \r\n\r\nThe new and improved tools have also opened up even more opportunities for students to stretch their creativity. They are able to experiment with different techniques, textures, shapes, and details as they bring their ideas to life in clay. Our new glazes have been especially exciting because students can explore color combinations and beautiful finishes that add the final touch to their pottery.\r\n\r\nSeeing students pull their finished pieces from the kiln is always a special moment. They are excited to see how their glaze choices and designs transformed during the firing process, and each piece is a unique reflection of their creativity and hard work.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our ceramics projects, students will be experimenting with new techniques, refining their skills, and creating pieces that challenge them to think like artists and problem-solvers. Thank you to our generous donors for helping provide the tools and materials that allow our students to explore, create, take risks, and discover just how much they can do with a simple piece of clay!\r\n\r\nThanks again for supporting arts in education.","fullyFundedDate":1785780061863,"projectUrl":"project/mud-to-masterpieces/10286434/","projectTitle":"Mud to Masterpieces","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kerksiek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4277900_orig.png?crop=1184,1184,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693169069063","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miss-thomason"},{"teacherId":9334474,"projectId":10309803,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your support of my sensory friendly classroom. My students have commented on how much they love the standing desks, access to the fidgets and the overall flexibility of my classroom. It is great to know that when I see a student needing to stand or move their body to better regulate, that they have the option of doing so without interrupting their learning, or causing a distraction for other members of the class. \r\n\r\nI will also add, that a few of the students in my advisory absolutely loved getting to contribute to this \"classroom makeover\" by building the standing desks! It was so great to see this group of boys tackle this project with collaboration and enthusiasm. \r\n\r\nI sincerely appreciate you helping me make room #523 a more inclusive and welcoming space for all!","fullyFundedDate":1780309727085,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-friendly-classroom/10309803/","projectTitle":"Sensory Friendly Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9334474"},{"teacherId":10045351,"projectId":9383735,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity in providing rechargeable, cordless, LED lights for our orchestra's music stands. We've already used them in an outdoor performance at the Kansas City Zoo. Our performance was after dark, in an open area without access to adequate electricity for corded lights and extension cords. The students were able to set up quickly and safely without tripping over cords and worrying about straining their eyes as they read their music in the dark.\r\n\r\nThe picture we shared is of our pit orchestra, which is already rehearsing with the stand lights to prepare for our school musical, Between the Lines. This musical requires musicians to perform in the orchestra pit, beneath the stage, with little to no lighting. The space is small and access to electrical outlets is limited. Your donation made it possible for us to adequately and safely illuminate our music stands for this performance.\r\n\r\nWe have plans to use them again on stage in our auditorium when we perform music with the projector running. The projector requires the house and stage lights to be dimmed which makes it difficult for students to see their music. These stand lights will allow us to perform movie music set to short scenes, or have a slide show running while we play. Your donation made it possible for every music stand to have a light without worrying about running cords across the stage. \r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our students. Your generosity will impact our orchestra program for years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1752586527556,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-light-in-the-dark/9383735/","projectTitle":"A Safe Light in the Dark","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Hanf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10045351_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748459346448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045351"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59236","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1844,"numTeachers":128,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.5,"schoolId":59236,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Olathe East High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Olathe East High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/olathe-public-schools-usd-233/olathe-east-high-school/59236"}
