They unpacked the carving tools, pastels, embroidery kits, sneaker supplies, and more with wide eyes and excited voices. I'll never forget the moment one student whispered, \"This feels like a real art studio.\"\r\n\r\nThroughout the year, students explored their interests through hands-on projects that blended creativity, problem-solving, and identity.\r\n\r\nA group of students stitched floral embroidery patches and gifted them to staff members.\r\n\r\nSeveral kids carved animals and symbols meaningful to them and proudly displayed them at our showcase.\r\n\r\nOne student designed a line of hand-painted shoes inspired by her favorite book characters.\r\n\r\nYour donations allowed every student to feel seen and supported in a way that's hard to describe. Genius Time became more than a project—it became a highlight of their week and a powerful memory of elementary school.\r\n\r\nWe closed out the year with a \"Genius Gallery Walk,\" where students shared their work with families and staff. Watching them explain their process, reflect on their challenges, and light up with pride was the kind of moment that reminds me why I teach.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your generosity truly changed the experience of learning for an entire class of bright, creative kids.","fullyFundedDate":1746914037219,"projectUrl":"project/passion-projects-in-progress-fueling-fi/9190966/","projectTitle":"Passion Projects in Progress: Fueling Fifth Grade Genius Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Panter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4570262_orig.png?crop=296,296,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708399863560","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4570262"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36381","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":383,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":22,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":83.9,"schoolId":36381,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington - Hoyt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington - Hoyt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/tacoma-public-schools/washington-hoyt-elementary-school/36381"}
