We are a small, rural school district, and sometimes resources can be limited, especially when it comes to art supplies. Having things like new colored pencils, clay tools, and large paper makes such a difference for my students and the projects we're able to do throughout the year.\r\n\r\nMy students were especially excited when they saw the new clay tools! Clay is always one of their absolute favorite projects, and they are already looking forward to getting to use everything when we start our clay project in December. Unfortunately, clay can be one of our more expensive projects, so having these extra tools is such a huge help. One of my favorite things about teaching art is watching my students express themselves and seeing all the different ideas they come up with. I love being able to let them use all the paint, colors, and materials their hearts desire, and I hate having to limit their creativity because we don't have enough supplies.\r\n\r\nThese donations help me give my students more freedom to create and enjoy art without having to worry as much about what materials we have available. It really does mean a lot to us, and I hope you know how much we appreciate your generosity. Thank you again for helping make our art classroom a place where students can be creative, try new things, and just enjoy making art!","fullyFundedDate":1779796841907,"projectUrl":"project/stocking-our-art-room-with-the-essential/10080956/","projectTitle":"Stocking Our Art Room with the Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9294509_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y670&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770140948133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9294509"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42636","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":196,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":78.6,"schoolId":42636,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Trinidad Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Trinidad Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/trinidad-school-district-1/trinidad-middle-school/42636"}
