The LED lights and pinpoint spotlights you funded have already begun to transform our performances, bringing vibrant colors and dynamic effects to our stage that we could have only dreamed of before your support.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is lighting up not only our stage, but also the hearts of my students. In our fall production of \"Puffs\" by Matt Cox, I was able to train students to work behind the scenes to learn the technical aspect of a production. For many of the students, theatre is their first opportunity to discover creativity, teamwork, and self-confidence. Your donation ensures they can experience the magic of storytelling in a way that comes to life.\r\n\r\nWith these new lights, we can create more professional productions and inspire students to aim higher in their theatrical journey. It provides a space for students that want to participate but not be onstage. Your support reminds them--and me--that there are people out there who believe in the power of the arts and the potential of young minds.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, thank you for your generosity and for investing in their growth and dreams. You have made a brighter difference than words can express. Because of you, we are shining bright like diamonds!","fullyFundedDate":1726846127808,"projectUrl":"project/shine-bright-like-a-diamond/8672287/","projectTitle":"Shine Bright like a Diamond","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pierson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9686167"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102418","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":822,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":95.5,"schoolId":102418,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heritage Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heritage Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/frenship-independent-school-district/heritage-middle-school/102418"}
