Our school is tiny but mighty, with our 30 students in grades 9-12. Many of them have never touched a pottery wheel, so now walking into the art room with excitement in their eyes and a new eagerness to learn is so wonderful to witness. \r\n\r\nI see a difference in discovering patience, persistence, and problem-solving as they practice. They're realizing that it's okay to start over, growth comes with practice, and that even something that \"flops\" can be something beautiful. These lessons stretch far beyond the art room, giving them confidence and resilience they'll carry with them in all areas of life. \r\n\r\nYour gift has given my students more than just a piece of equipment--it has given them opportunity, confidence, and a way to see themselves as capable creators. In a school as small as ours, every opportunity matters, and this one has sparked excitement that will continue to grow year after year. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their creativity. Because of your support, they are learning that even in the smallest of places, amazing things can be made.","fullyFundedDate":1742908668986,"projectUrl":"project/spin-to-win-pottery-in-rural-schools/9202393/","projectTitle":"Spin to Win: Pottery in Rural Schools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8885366_orig.jpg?crop=408,408,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741792787249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8885366"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79256","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":78,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":97,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":79256,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Keya Paha County School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Keya Paha County School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/keya-paha-county-school-district/keya-paha-co-school/79256"}
