Your support arrived at the perfect time and made a real difference in our students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nBecause of your gift, our students were able to:\r\nLearn essential life and technical skills such as measuring, cutting, sewing, and pattern reading.\r\nExpress creativity and build confidence by designing and completing their own textile projects.\r\nPractice teamwork, problem‑solving, and patience through collaborative sewing activities.\r\nExplore careers and practical applications in fashion, costume design, and textile arts.\r\n\r\nIn just the first week, students planned projects, practiced basic stitches, and learned how to care for sewing tools. Their excitement and pride in their work is inspiring.\r\nWe truly appreciate your generosity and the investment you have made in our students' education. Your contribution didn't just buy equipment or books, you have helped provide hands-on learning that combines creativity, practical skill, real-world application and lessons that will benefit them long after they leave my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758826119578,"projectUrl":"project/ease-on-down-the-road/9661560/","projectTitle":"Ease on Down the Road","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10230353_orig.jpg?crop=2420,2420,x210,y890&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756520357973","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10230353"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18711","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":180,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":56,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"7.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.9,"schoolId":18711,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/urban-assembly-school-for-the-performing-arts/18711"}
