They couldn't believe these tools were just for them, not borrowed, not rationed, but theirs to explore freely.\r\n\r\nWe immediately put the resources to use in a student led project centered around identity and self-expression. It's been incredible to watch students who usually hesitate to participate suddenly take the lead. One student said, \" I feel like a real artist now. Is this really for us?\" Others have even asked to stay longer in the space after class is over. These materials didn't just make the project possible; they elevated the entire learning experience. \r\n\r\nThanks to you, we've been able to expand what's possible in the space. Your donation didn't just provide materials, you helped create a space where students feel seen, empowered, and inspired.","fullyFundedDate":1734712997121,"projectUrl":"project/creation-in-the-lions-den/8763287/","projectTitle":"Creation in the Lion’s Den","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stafford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9596506_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726058565960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9596506"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20495","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":251,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.1,"schoolId":20495,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Christian Park School 82 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Christian Park School 82","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/indianapolis-public-school-district/christian-park-school-82/20495"}
