Your contributions have made a significant difference in the lives of our student artists, and I am incredibly thankful for your belief in the power of art education.\r\n\r\nFor the past three years, my students have been creating vibrant and meaningful glass mosaic pieces that they are truly proud of. These projects not only allow them to explore their creativity, but also give them a lasting sense of accomplishment. Your donations helped ensure that every student, regardless of financial circumstances, had the opportunity to participate fully without having to contribute their own money for materials.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we've been able to continue using 14-inch circular boards—an ideal size that allows for both creative expression and manageable use of glass materials—without compromising the quality of the final artworks. It may seem like a small detail, but it has a big impact on what our students are able to achieve.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding aspects of this project is the level of engagement it brings out in the classroom. When you walk into the art room during this unit, there's a quiet hum of focus and creativity. Students are immersed in their work—focused, motivated, and proud of what they are creating. It's truly a joy to witness.\r\n\r\nI would be honored to share photos of their work with you, and would be happy to send a link to a gallery showcasing their mosaics. These pieces are more than just class projects—they are meaningful expressions of each student's unique voice and artistic vision.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and support. You've helped make something truly special possible.","fullyFundedDate":1746877260990,"projectUrl":"project/stained-glass-mosaic-table-tops/9163140/","projectTitle":"Stained Glass Mosaic Table Tops","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Taft","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8896125_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x551,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670894528315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/taft-art-class"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36959","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1069,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":7,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":87.3,"schoolId":36959,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southwest High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southwest High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/green-bay-area-public-school-district/southwest-high-school/36959"}
