The light boxes have completely changed the way students approach their work. They are able to transfer drawings more accurately, refine compositions, layer ideas, and correct mistakes without starting over. This has built confidence, especially for students who get discouraged when something doesn't look \"right\" the first time.\r\n\r\nWhen the light boxes arrived, students were immediately excited. They couldn't wait to try them. I heard so many \"This makes it so much easier!\" comments as they realized they could focus more on creativity and less on frustration. Even students who usually hesitate to take risks were more willing to experiment because they had a safety net.\r\n\r\nThe micron pens have also made a huge difference. Students love using them for outlining and final details. Their line work looks more professional, and they take real pride in their finished pieces. It's been incredible to watch their craftsmanship improve and to see them slow down and care about the quality of their work.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using the light boxes for daily transfers, layering techniques, mixed media projects, and developing more complex compositions. These tools are not just a one-time addition — they are now part of our regular creative process. Your support has elevated the quality of student work and, more importantly, their confidence as young artists.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and in the creative growth of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1765088023382,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-room/9945684/","projectTitle":"Help Our Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Connell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10111027_orig.jpg?crop=1830,1830,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754335582496","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10111027"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13901","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":740,"numTeachers":57,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":30.3,"schoolId":13901,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clack Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clack Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/abilene-independent-school-district/clack-middle-school/13901"}
