Your generosity means more than you probably realize — not just to me, but to the kids who are now getting to experience what it's like to really create something together.\r\n\r\nBefore your donation, we were doing the best we could with what we had. Students were acting their hearts out, building stories, and learning to project, but we didn't have the tools to bring their ideas to life in the way they imagined. Now, when a student picks up a microphone, hears their own voice clearly, or listens back to a recording they helped create, you can see the pride on their faces. It's that moment where learning turns into ownership — when they realize, \"Hey, we made this.\"\r\n\r\nYour support has helped us transform our classroom into something much more than just a place to rehearse. It's now a small studio — a space where creativity meets real-world skills. The kids are learning how to handle equipment respectfully, how to collaborate under pressure, and how to bring a project from idea to finished piece. They're not just learning about theatre anymore — they're learning responsibility, confidence, and teamwork.","fullyFundedDate":1760747521607,"projectUrl":"project/the-mount-washington-podcast/9823059/","projectTitle":"The Mount Washington Podcast","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Duran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9451558"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64415","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":516,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.9,"schoolId":64415,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Washington Elementary School 221 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Washington Elementary School 221","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/baltimore-city-public-school-district/mt-washington-elementary-school-221/64415"}
