Your generosity arrived just in time for our Black History Month show, and it transformed both our lessons and our students' artwork. They used these supplies to create powerful pieces that celebrated cultural traditions, and they were incredibly proud to see their work displayed for our school community. The high‑quality materials allowed them to add richer color, detail, and texture.\r\n Because of you, our students were able to share their voices and cultures in a beautiful, museum‑style display that brought the whole school together. These supplies will continue to be used throughout the year as we build on this project and give students more opportunities to express themselves. Thank you for believing in our young artists and for making such a lasting impact on our school.","fullyFundedDate":1766506229162,"projectUrl":"project/art-supplies-for-the-remainder-of-the-ye/9959278/","projectTitle":"Art Supplies for the Remainder of the Year PreK-8th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jerez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10382846_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772289923320","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10382846"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81164","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":800,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.6,"schoolId":81164,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Quitman Street Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Quitman Street Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/newark-public-schools/quitman-street-community-school/81164"}
