The aprons were definitely a hit with the kids—they were so excited to have their own to wear during projects. Personally, I was thrilled about the new drying racks, which have already made such a difference in keeping our workspace organized. Every time we paint, the students rush over to pick their favorite color, and the pastels have been wonderful for blending—we even created a school-wide collaborative poster with them!\r\n\r\nThe students were especially eager to try out the new watercolor paper, and they couldn't wait to get creative with it. As we move into the next part of our art journey, we're preparing to make decorations for our upcoming winter concert. On behalf of everyone at Mesquite, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our donors for their generous contributions. Your support has truly made a difference in our classroom and has inspired our students to keep creating with excitement and pride.","fullyFundedDate":1746451488542,"projectUrl":"project/brushes-colors-dreams-fund-the-future/9155707/","projectTitle":"Brushes, Colors, Dreams: Fund the Future of Art!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guzman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9719883_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y161&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740063067634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9719883"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":520,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":58.9,"schoolId":94070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mesquite Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mesquite Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/crane-elementary-school-district/mesquite-elementary-school/94070"}
