Because of your kindness, my students now have the opportunity to explore their creativity and imagination in new and exciting ways.\r\n\r\nTheater is so much more than what happens on stage—it's about teamwork, storytelling, problem-solving, and the magic created behind the scenes. Your donation has provided the materials we need to dive into the art of costume design, giving each student the chance to bring a character to life through fabric, color, and design choices.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing to see how excited my students are to roll up their sleeves and get creative. Some who never thought of themselves as \"artistic\" are discovering their own creative spark—and that's truly priceless. Projects like this not only teach technical skills, but also confidence, collaboration, and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are reading a popular play and designing costumes or accessories inspired by the characters. Thanks to you, these student-made creations will be donated to the PSRC All County Musical for the spring production helping other young performers shine on stage. Your generosity will continue to inspire creativity beyond our classroom walls!\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the arts and in our students. You've made a lasting impact on their education and their creative spirits.","fullyFundedDate":1750773678599,"projectUrl":"project/building-better-technical-skills-sewin/9259536/","projectTitle":"Building Better Technical Skills - Sewing!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bethann P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4231453_orig.jpg?crop=597,597,x0,y101&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1585273524635","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bethann-perry"},{"teacherId":4231453,"projectId":9259431,"letterContent":"We would like to sincerely thank you for your generous donations to our classroom and school.

Your support means more than you know—not only to me as an educator, but to the students who have been able to explore their creativity and deepen their understanding of theatrical design because of your kindness.\r\n\r\nEach semester, I guide my students through a lesson on costume design, blending theory with a hands-on project that encourages both artistic expression and practical skill-building. This coming semester, our project takes on a special twist. Students have read a beloved Disney play and designed and created their own costume accessory or mask inspired by a character from the script.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, this lesson became more than a classroom activity—it has become an opportunity for students to create something meaningful and give back to the arts community. The final products has been donated to the Robeson County Theatre Program and used in their productions, allowing your contribution to make an even wider impact.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support of arts education and for helping us bring creativity, collaboration, and community into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1735059917815,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-literacy-sewing-for-the-sta/8720944/","projectTitle":"Interactive Literacy: Sewing for the Stage","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bethann P.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4231453_orig.jpg?crop=597,597,x0,y101&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1585273524635","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bethann-perry"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3355","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1575,"numTeachers":93,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":80,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.6,"schoolId":3355,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Purnell Swett High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Purnell Swett High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/public-schools-of-robeson-county/purnell-swett-high-school/3355"}
