Having something small to eat helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to create—especially during busy school days and longer studio-work sessions.\r\n\r\nWe also had a wonderful first Art Club meeting, made even more meaningful through the kindness of our donors. Students were excited to gather, make art, and begin building a creative community after school. Your support helps ensure that students can participate comfortably and confidently while exploring their ideas and talents.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your generosity has made a real difference. I could see how meaningful it was in the students' smiles, enthusiasm, and heartfelt thank-yous. A little support truly goes a long way, and we are so grateful that you chose to invest in our young artists.","fullyFundedDate":1789567442247,"projectUrl":"project/class-incidentals/10573319/","projectTitle":"Class incidentals","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shannon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2234656_orig.jpg?crop=151,151,x0,y11&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777467997304","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2234656"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66755","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":750,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":58.5,"schoolId":66755,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northwest Penn Collegiate Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northwest Penn Collegiate Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/erie-city-school-district/northwest-penn-collegiate-acad/66755"}
