The glow paints, pastels, papers, neon decorations, and black lights created an enchanting atmosphere that captivated every student (and teacher) in the building. Your support not only illuminated the room but also the hearts and minds of the budding artists who were eager to explore their creativity in such a unique setting. \r\n\r\nI look forward to making this a memorable, yearly activity for all students. Some of our favorite projects were glowing snails, lava lamps, tigers, desert landscapes and Picasso inspired masks. All students are wrapping up their glow projects this week and we're looking forward to displaying them at our end of the year art show. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for supporting our districts art program. I'm incredibly grateful for your willingness to invest in my vision. We look forward to sharing more successes with you in the future and hope you'll continue to be a part of our journey.","fullyFundedDate":1733251222539,"projectUrl":"project/glow-in-the-dark-art-week/8861102/","projectTitle":"Glow in the Dark Art Week!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDonough","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3356218_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450711714654","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3356218"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22961","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":584,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.2,"schoolId":22961,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vernon Verona Sherrill Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vernon Verona Sherrill Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/vernon-verona-sherrill-csd/vernon-verona-sherrill-senior-high-school/22961"}
