Your donation has brought transformative opportunities to our students, and I'm excited to share the incredible impact it has made.\r\n The new tools and technology you funded have revolutionized our art classroom. For many of our students, accessing digital art platforms and advanced tools has opened doors they didn't even know existed. With these resources, students are learning how to translate their creativity into digital formats, a critical skill for the modern world. They're using programs to create vibrant designs, experiment with virtual brushes and colors, and even produce animations—all while developing skills in technology, problem-solving, and design thinking.\r\n The buzz of excitement is palpable every time we introduce a new project using this technology. Many students have said that creating digital art feels \"like being a professional artist.\" They especially love features like layering and blending, which allow them to experiment without fear of making mistakes. This freedom has fostered a boldness in their creativity that is remarkable to witness.\r\n One student, Ava, shared that she feels like she can finally \"bring the ideas in my head to life.\" Another student, Lucas, who has always been fascinated by animation, is now creating short clips that he proudly shows to his peers. Their joy and enthusiasm are directly tied to the resources your generosity has provided.\r\n There are so many stories I could share, but one stands out. Jayden, a student who used to be shy and hesitant to participate in class, has found his voice through digital art. Using the tablet, he created a series of designs inspired by his favorite comic books. When he presented his work to the class, he spoke with confidence and pride—a moment of transformation made possible because of you.\r\n Your generosity has not only enhanced our current projects but has also inspired our students to dream bigger. They now see a future where their creative talents can lead to careers in design, animation, and other fields. You have given them tools to express themselves, learn new skills, and discover new passions.\r\n Thank you for believing in our students and for making this incredible experience possible. Your kindness and support are truly changing lives, one brushstroke and keystroke at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1734364182930,"projectUrl":"project/kipp-culture-corral/8993284/","projectTitle":"Kipp Culture Corral","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Alexander","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9615358_orig.png?crop=629,629,x0,y2&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722866452997","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9615358"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122751","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":271,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":122751,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP Pleasant Grove Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP Pleasant Grove Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/kipp-pleasant-grove-middle/122751"}
