When the supplies first arrived, my students were amazed that people they had never met wanted to support their creativity. These materials have helped even my most hesitant artists feel more confident. Next, we'll be using the supplies to create a classroom gallery where students can display their work and share it with others in the auditorium.","fullyFundedDate":1757446089793,"projectUrl":"project/ms-gonzalezs-art-supplies/9676579/","projectTitle":"Ms. Gonzalez’s Art Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lisandy Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239062"},{"teacherId":2597853,"projectId":8856822,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing the materials necessary for my students to engage in classroom activities throughout the school year.
