Our classroom just got much more colorful! 🎨I am sitting at my desk looking at the new HP color printer you generously donated, and the amazing projects my students have created with it. I wanted to thank you personally for your incredible generosity.\r\n As an educator, I believe that hands-on, visual learning is key to engaging students. With this new printer and ink, my students were able to vibrantly display their creativity. Seeing their work come to life in color brings them such joy and pride in their learning. You have not just given us equipment; you have given them motivation and a way to showcase their best work.\r\n Please check out the pictures of a few of their Cereal Box Projects in celebration of Black History Month and their Zip Code Poem Projects. Thank you for believing in me as an educator and in the creativity of my students. Your support means the world to our class and allows me to provide them with the resources they need to thrive. They are no longer limited by the lack of resources available to them. Thank you for investing in my students' education and bringing more color to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1770316907519,"projectUrl":"project/picture-perfect-prints/10053173/","projectTitle":"PICTURE PERFECT PRINTS","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pemberton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8469250_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y134&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1652141057228","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pemberton"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45632","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":339,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.3,"schoolId":45632,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hibiscus Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hibiscus Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/hibiscus-elementary-school/45632"}
