Resources are so important in a classroom, and our budgets are tight to say the least. The money you donated for this one project, is almost half our budget for the whole year. The students were so excited to work with alchohol markers. They also had a lot of fun drawing Manga style faces. \r\n I have a lot of students who enjoy anime and Manga. I think it is important to encourage them and have them draw their own characters. Even students who do not draw a lot of anime did well with drawing their own characters. I made a step-by-step guide on how to proportion and draw the faces. It worked out well and was a good project for students.\r\n I really appreciate the support from Donors Choose. I know my grant was provided by a single donor from Donors Choose. There are so many wonderful and deserving projects, I feel very lucky to be chosen and funded.","fullyFundedDate":1756308584247,"projectUrl":"project/manga-for-all/9595383/","projectTitle":"Manga for All","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGhee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9638141"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34631","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":411,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":34631,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fort Chiswell High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fort Chiswell High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/wythe-county-school-district/fort-chiswell-high-school/34631"}
