Your generous donation of art supplies will open doors for our young artists to explore their imaginations, build confidence, and engage in meaningful self-expression. Many of our students have limited access to basic materials at home, so having vibrant paints, quality paper, brushes, and other tools in the classroom will make a world of difference. Because of your generous donations, my students have resources to create fun and engaging projects. The students are able to unleash their creativity without the constraints of limited resources. Many of the resources were used to create paper mache pumpkins. The students loved using the paint markers and the paint aprons were great to keep their uniforms nice and clean. Our next project is to create Picasso like sculptures using the Model Magic and materials from the art box. \r\nThese supplies will not only support our visual arts curriculum but also integrate into core subjects, helping students visualize math concepts, illustrate stories, and explore history through creative projects. Your support empowers our students to dream big and feel seen, valued, and inspired every day.\r\nThank you for investing in their creativity and future.","fullyFundedDate":1755715934380,"projectUrl":"project/after-school-artsy-afternoons/9584617/","projectTitle":"After-School Artsy Afternoons","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown Tucker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10173782"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29463","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":315,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":70,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":29463,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roosevelt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roosevelt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/maywood-melrose-brdview-school-district-89/roosevelt-elementary-school/29463"}
