Because of your generosity, my students now have access to a new camera, and it has completely transformed the way they engage with storytelling.\r\n\r\nWith this camera, students are able to capture higher-quality footage, explore intentional framing, and take greater pride in their work. They are more invested, more focused, and more excited to tell meaningful stories about identity, equity, and their lived experiences. For many of them, this is their first time using professional-level equipment, and it has sparked both confidence and curiosity.\r\n\r\nYour support has allowed me to teach filmmaking in a more hands-on, authentic way. Instead of imagining what's possible, students are now actively creating it. Thank you for helping bring their voices to life.","fullyFundedDate":1715734315870,"projectUrl":"project/social-justice-documentary-film-colors/8198782/","projectTitle":"Social Justice Documentary Film: Colors of Equality","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Danae","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9460831"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126046","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":43.5,"schoolId":126046,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Greater Hartford Academy of Arts - Half Day on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Greater Hartford Academy of Arts - Half Day","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/-county-run-/greater-hartford-academy-of-arts-half-day/126046"}
