I know life is expensive and we are very busy & have our own families and expenses, but you have no idea how your generosity has affected my art classes. Some of my students don't even have crayons in their home, so for them to be able to come into my art class and create things with the simplest supplies such as crayons, magic markers and construction paper or even white paper really opens up a world of possibilities to these kids. Because of your donations, I will be able to create lesson plans that will engage and excite my students ! ♥️🎨🖌️🖼️","fullyFundedDate":1735667045220,"projectUrl":"project/ms-ms-ms-art-class/8830216/","projectTitle":"Ms M’s MS Art Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marcellino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9337961_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763677549615","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmarcellinosartclass"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96497","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":300,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.9,"schoolId":96497,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St Hope Leadership Academy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St Hope Leadership Academy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/st-hope-leadership-academy/96497"}
