Because of you, every student now has a sketchbook of their own, and it has quickly become an essential part of our daily routine. We use the sketchbooks every day for our bell ringer activities to warm up and get our creative minds ready for learning, and students also love using them during free time to draw and express themselves.\r\n\r\nWhen the students received their brand-new sketchbooks, their excitement was truly unforgettable. Many of them were amazed that strangers would care enough to buy something just for them, and several shared how special it made them feel. They took great pride in decorating their covers using paint markers and a variety of other mediums, turning each sketchbook into a unique reflection of their personality.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our classes are focused on technical drawing, and students are actively practicing one-point and two-point perspective in their sketchbooks. Having a personal sketchbook has given them the freedom to experiment, make mistakes, and grow as artists without fear. Because of your kindness, all of my students have a safe space to create, learn, and imagine every day. Thank you again for making such a meaningful impact on our classroom and on the confidence of our young artists.","fullyFundedDate":1757527678330,"projectUrl":"project/sketchbooks-for-success/9636898/","projectTitle":"Sketchbooks for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Case","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10212270"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10264","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":424,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":10264,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palmer Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palmer Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/palmer-independent-school-district/palmer-middle-school/10264"}
