Sixth graders had the opportunity to use mixed media supplies in the classroom to create a story that they made up or something based off their own life experiences. \r\n \r\nThe cardboard rectangles were used to create storyboards for our regional art show. The fifth-grade scholars used them to create beautiful images representing a popular movie, show or book. \r\n\r\nWe really appreciated all the donations to our art classroom at Momentum, Tower Grove South! These donations allowed scholars to be more engaged in the classroom because they were using materials that they don't normally get to use.","fullyFundedDate":1738687085476,"projectUrl":"project/the-art-of-storytelling/9086081/","projectTitle":"The Art of Storytelling","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Banks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9665957"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104885","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":221,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.3,"schoolId":104885,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Momentum Academy - Tower Grve South on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Momentum Academy - Tower Grve South ","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/missouri-department-of-education/eagle-college-prep-st-louis/104885"}
