They are now able to print their stories, poems, and other styles of writing in full color, which has not only enhanced the visual appeal of their work but also boosted their enthusiasm and pride in their writing. Sharing their colorful creations with one another as well as the school community has fostered a greater sense of accomplishment. Our graphic stories were displayed in the library for everyone to see, and my students received many compliments from their peers and staff. My hope is that it will also help to draw more students into choosing to take the class as they see what fun and different styles of writing we do together. \r\n\r\nYour support has truly transformed our classroom environment, making it more dynamic and inspiring for my young writers. I am deeply grateful for your commitment to education and for helping me provide my students with the tools they need to express themselves creatively.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and for believing in the importance of creative expression in education. Your kindness is going to impact them well into the future.","fullyFundedDate":1733756952481,"projectUrl":"project/getting-colorful-in-creative-writing/8614883/","projectTitle":"Getting Colorful in Creative Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DeGuire","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9642399"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44234","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":639,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":44234,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tolland High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tolland High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/tolland-public-schools/tolland-high-school/44234"}
