My students and I now use the file cabinet daily to store and access art supplies, sketches, and project materials, keeping our creative space flowing smoothly—like when we recently pulled out pre-sorted paper and tools for a mixed-media collage project, diving into the artwork without missing a beat. When the cabinet arrived, my students were overjoyed; one exclaimed, \"No more messy piles!\"—their delight showing how much this addition meant to our artistic chaos. Thanks to your generous donations, you've gotten a glimpse into our vibrant arts classroom and supported my initiative to give my students even more, enhancing the great foundation my school offers. Next, we're launching an arts project exploring self-portraits, where they'll use the cabinet to keep their drafts and materials tidy—fueling their creativity and organizational skills alike.","fullyFundedDate":1736544920321,"projectUrl":"project/give-the-gift-of-organization/9039379/","projectTitle":"Give the Gift of Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tanucan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9630903_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723065862258","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tanucan"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34609","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":226,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":34609,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Colonial Beach High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Colonial Beach High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/colonial-beach-school-district/colonial-beach-high-school/34609"}
