Your incredible support has opened up a world of creative possibilities for our students and has truly transformed the way we approach media arts.\r\n\r\nWith these drawing tablets, my students have been able to explore new creative fields, including digital illustration, animation, and graphic design. The ability to create directly on a digital canvas has not only enhanced their technical skills but has also inspired them to push the boundaries of their imagination. Many of my students have shared how exciting it is to work with professional tools like these, and it's been rewarding to see their confidence grow as they develop their talents.\r\n\r\nThis donation has provided an opportunity for students who may not have had access to such resources to experience the full breadth of what media arts has to offer. Whether creating their first digital illustration, experimenting with advanced techniques in Photoshop, or preparing portfolio pieces for college applications, these tablets have been a game-changer in their educational journey.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had an immeasurable impact on our program, and we are so grateful for your commitment to fostering creativity and innovation in our youth. Please know that your gift is making a difference in the lives of our students, giving them tools to express themselves and build skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and support, We would love to share some of the incredible projects our students are creating with these tablets and hope you'll stay connected to our program.","fullyFundedDate":1643225693063,"projectUrl":"project/digital-drawing-dreams-for-young-designe/6112246/","projectTitle":"Digital Drawing Dreams for Young Designers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8182028_orig.jpg?crop=345,345,x144,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642436993878","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8182028"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63931","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":419,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":63931,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southbridge High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southbridge High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/southbridge-public-school-district/mary-e-wells-junior-high-school/63931"}
