Your support has made a tremendous difference—not just in our productions, but in the lives of our students. Through theater, they've found their voices, built confidence, and learned the value of teamwork and creativity. Many have discovered new talents and developed skills that will stay with them long after the curtain falls. The stage has become a safe, inspiring space where students can express themselves freely and grow both as performers and individuals.\r\n\r\nYour contributions have helped bring our performances to life—funding costumes, sets, lighting, and the rights to the shows that make our program possible. Every dollar has helped create a more vibrant, inclusive, and enriching experience for our young artists. Thank you for believing in the power of the arts and in the potential of our students. Your generosity continues to light up our stage and our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1745031112411,"projectUrl":"project/our-school-drama-club/9234961/","projectTitle":"Our School Drama Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McClay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9991411_orig.jpg?crop=525,525,x18,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745863269133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9991411"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69612","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1292,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.3,"schoolId":69612,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Franklin Towne Charter High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Franklin Towne Charter High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/philadelphia-city-school-district/franklin-towne-charter-high-school/69612"}
