As a border city, El Paso is diverse and has a significant connection to various South American cultures. This project allowed my students to explore not only their heritage but others as well including France, Germany, and Japan where paper craft techniques are important forms of art.\r\nWhen students first got their materials, they did not yet know how many piece of art can be used from simple recycled materials. They learned that the only limitation in reusing materials such as newspapers, old worksheets, past artwork they no longer wanted, cardboard, even cans, is their imagination. They learned that items can have more than one function and can be transformed from waste to art. This is important not just for their future but for all of ours; we all need to lower our footprint on this Earth and it begins with reuse.\r\nThanks to you, I saw an amazing transformation in my students way and plan on continuing such projects in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1755184595692,"projectUrl":"project/paper-me-mache/9525778/","projectTitle":"Paper Me Mache","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reiff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6699202_orig.jpg?crop=785,785,x247,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1565835269760","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6699202"},{"teacherId":9895809,"projectId":9508362,"letterContent":"The supplies I received from this Donors Choose project went toward my school's Chalk The Block event, which was a great success due to your generosity.

It's been interesting to see the students' creativity shine through their art. Since Sharpies tend to run out quickly when they're used frequently, then it is pretty important for students to have a plenty of supplies so their artwork doesn't suffer from lack of useful supplies. \r\nI want to thank all the donors who were kind enough to contribute to my classroom and my students.
