Already, it has become a centerpiece for celebrating student creativity and achievement. Currently, it is showcasing the vibrant bookmarks designed by our students for our Big Tex contest in honor of the upcoming State Fair of Texas. Seeing their work displayed in such a prominent and professional way gives our students an incredible sense of pride and motivation.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, this display case will continue to serve as a lasting tribute to student voice and accomplishment. We plan to use it to highlight winning entries from our digital citizenship and water conservation poster contests, as well as to feature photographs of our graduates and students engaged in field trips. By showcasing these moments and projects, the display case helps foster a culture of recognition, inspiration, and community within our school. Your thoughtful donation will touch the lives of countless students by giving them a visible reminder that their efforts matter and are worthy of celebration.","fullyFundedDate":1746814435220,"projectUrl":"project/lets-put-those-projects-on-display/9129917/","projectTitle":"Let's Put Those Projects on Display","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Black","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp609317_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458595465866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mlblack"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11126","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":200,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":35.7,"schoolId":11126,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Memorial Pathway Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Memorial Pathway Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/garland-independent-school-district/memorial-preparatory-school/11126"}
