Students have loved to paint with all the supplies you paid for. We have done several painting projects already from sunsets to landscapes to portraits. We have even done non-objective painting. I think my favorite project done was my interns project that she just did. The students had to do a motif on a foam board with organic shapes and dots. Then they created an airdry clay face jug on a 2 D surface. They used the paint to do their motif and to paint their picasso like faces. This was a lot of fun and therefore those are the pictures I have posted. \r\nThird grade did these precious storm clouds with salt dough, yarn, beads, pipe cleaners and the paint you donated. I have included pictures of those too. \r\n\r\nAgain thank you so much. It is only through the generous donations of people like you that I am able to do the wild projects we do with our students at Stokes school.","fullyFundedDate":1766021879429,"projectUrl":"project/oh-how-we-love-to-paint/9922540/","projectTitle":"Oh How We Love to Paint!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. MaLisa Jessie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2049150_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506733660351","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/justjessie"},{"teacherId":9452748,"projectId":9108526,"letterContent":"Your generosity has made a meaningful impact on my students and our physical education program. Since receiving the new equipment—including the punching bag, yoga mats, barbell weight set, weight bench, yoga blocks, and agility training tools—students have been actively using these resources to build strength, improve endurance, and develop overall fitness. One of the most exciting moments was the first day the equipment arrived. The students were incredibly energized and eager to try everything. They rotated through different training stations where they practiced agility drills, learned proper lifting techniques on the bench press and barbell set, and used the punching bag to work on coordination and controlled power. Many students who previously felt intimidated by fitness activities became more confident as they learned safe and effective ways to train their bodies.\r\n\r\nThese resources are also helping students understand the importance of injury prevention and body awareness. The yoga mats and blocks have allowed us to incorporate stretching, mobility work, and balance exercises into our lessons, helping students recognize how flexibility and recovery are just as important as strength training. Moving forward, students will continue building on these skills through structured workout circuits and personal fitness challenges where they set goals for strength, agility, and endurance. Thanks to your support, my students now have the tools to develop lifelong fitness habits, build confidence in their physical abilities, and experience a more engaging and hands-on approach to learning about health and wellness.","fullyFundedDate":1739535675202,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-athletic-performance/9108526/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Athletic Performance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Adams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9452748"},{"teacherId":6843395,"projectId":9313322,"letterContent":"On behalf of the kindergarteners at Stokes School, I want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your generous donation of cardstock, crayons, highlighters, and dry erase boards and general supplies.

Having a full box of vibrant colors at their desks each day has made them eager to get to work.\r\nDry erase boards and markers have empowered our students to practice their writing and math skills daily without fear of making mistakes.
