Your contribution of safety equipment and pig hearts made it possible for us to conduct a hands-on dissection lab that was both educational and unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room was palpable as students donned their gloves and goggles, eager to dive into a real scientific experience. For many, it was their first time engaging in such an in-depth exploration of anatomy, and it sparked genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful discussion. The lab not only enriched our unit but also made science come alive in a way that textbooks simply cannot.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, students were able to gain a deeper understanding of biological systems, develop important lab skills, and—most importantly—build confidence in their abilities as young scientists. These are moments that will stick with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nWe may not know who you are, but please know that your kindness and investment in our students has made a lasting impact. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for giving my students an experience they will never forget.","fullyFundedDate":1719500293573,"projectUrl":"project/future-scientists-need-lab-supplies/8248704/","projectTitle":"Future Scientists Need Lab Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elliott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9482443_orig.jpg?crop=1899,1899,x327,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754420171665","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9482443"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_110623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":237,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":110623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maine Arts Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maine Arts Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/maine-department-of-education/snow-pond-arts-academy/110623"}
