Will offer shade and protect some of the plants and trees as well shade if anyone is working out there.\r\n\r\nThese will hopefully last a few years too, so, in the fall, when we are back in school and it is still hot for a few months, there will be some shade while the classroom is out there (and the students won't complain as bad how hot it is outside).","fullyFundedDate":1779922114960,"projectUrl":"project/summer-horticulture-class-needs-shade/10267030/","projectTitle":"Summer Horticulture Class Needs Shade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dennert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7944328_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630190902186","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7944328"},{"teacherId":7944328,"projectId":10007937,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generous donations.

Some we haven't tried yet, so they will be fantastic to use.\r\n\r\nI am really enjoying teaching art (and learning as I teach) so the little things, like the sketchpads and multiple medias for art are enough for multiple students that show up too.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much.
