Your generous contributions helped provide a poster printer, ink and paper for our GT classroom. We are very grateful for your kindness and support!\r\n\r\n Because of your generosity, our students are now able to bring their ideas to life in a bigger and more meaningful way. The poster printer allows them to create large visual displays for research projects, presentations and creative work. Being able to print their work professionally not only helps them share their learning with others, but also builds pride and confidence in the work they create. So far they have created school info posters for our district preview night, chess informational posters for younger grades and even \"Algebra Homes\" for a math class project.\r\n\r\n Our students are excited to use these materials to showcase their thinking, collaborate with classmates, and present their discoveries. Your donation is making a real difference in how they learn, create and communicate their ideas!\r\n\r\n Thank you again for investing in our students and believing in them as well as their education. The support you have provided inspires curiosity, creativity and a love of learning in our classroom every day!","fullyFundedDate":1765901871295,"projectUrl":"project/printing-posting-providing-info-one-po/9811310/","projectTitle":"Printing, Posting, Providing Info One Poster at a Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Richardson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3628304_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504647593954","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3628304"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50920","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":731,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.5,"schoolId":50920,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jonesboro Visual & Perform Arts Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jonesboro Visual & Perform Arts Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/jonesboro-public-schools/jonesboro-visual-perform-arts/50920"}
