We have received the frames and are busy at work planning the install. So much has happened since the original project was posted. \r\n\r\nFirst, we decided on a name. We are titling the gallery the \"Dreher Anthology.\" We feel the word \"anthology\" captures the essence of our curated student artworks from diverse perspectives. The snap frames will display and protect many of the works from Art 1, Art 2, Art 3 Honors, and AP Art throughout the year.\r\n\r\nSecond, we are currently cataloging and relocating Dreher's collection of professional artworks currently in the lobby. This is no small task! We have a scavenger hunt planned, so our student body can learn about the collection of the professional artwork. Many of the artists are Dreher Alumni.\r\n\r\nLastly, we will bring in professionals from the district to help hang the frames. Once they are installed, we will celebrate this milestone for our program. The frames will be used for years to come and will make a huge impact on our school.\r\n\r\nWe greatly appreciate your support in helping the visual arts students at Dreher High School shine.","fullyFundedDate":1762108827398,"projectUrl":"project/let-your-art-speak-louder-than-words/9682038/","projectTitle":"Let Your Art Speak Louder Than Words","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pfrommer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2368113_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y301&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756999968594","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-pfrommer"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6408","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1144,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":6408,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dreher High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dreher High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/richland-county-school-district-one/dreher-high-school/6408"}
