Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in the art room, and my students and I are truly grateful.\r\n\r\nEvery week, I have the privilege of teaching nearly 500 4th–6th grade students from a wide range of backgrounds, languages, and learning needs. Over the past three years, our art room has grown into a safe and supportive space where students can take risks, relax, express themselves, and develop a love for creativity. With your help, that environment is stronger than ever.\r\n\r\nThe materials you funded have had an immediate impact. The document camera has transformed the way students engage with demonstrations—now every child can clearly see techniques and steps, making lessons more accessible and inclusive. The bracelet kits, looms and play dough tools are a huge hit during free art day rewards!!! And the utility carts have made material distribution smoother and more organized, helping our large classes transition efficiently and spend more time creating.\r\nThese tools support everything from classroom organization and free-art centers to student artwork displays, all of which help our young artists feel proud, capable, and inspired.\r\nThank you for helping me continue to foster a meaningful, creative space for the Trenton community's students. Your generosity doesn't just provide materials—it opens doors for imagination, confidence, and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1746786270778,"projectUrl":"project/a-creative-start-to-the-2025-26-year/9318267/","projectTitle":"A Creative Start to the 2025-26 Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wible","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9313159_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723654719628","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9313159"},{"teacherId":9313159,"projectId":9349462,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our art room through DonorsChoose.

With your support, we were able to secure high-quality construction paper that was used for our Day of the Dead sugar skull cut paper collages!\r\nThe construction paper you helped fund will allow them to experiment with color, layering, and composition. Color is such an important part of these skulls so allowing them more color chooses to use was great! \r\nThank you for believing in my students and their artistic journeys.
