Thanks to your generosity, each of my Art Foundations students received their very own 1\" binder—and their reactions were full of excitement and pride. Many of my students don't come to class with consistent supplies, so being handed something just for them was incredibly meaningful. One student even said, \"I've never had an art folder that wasn't falling apart by the end of the quarter—this one feels official.\" That moment captured exactly why this project matters.\r\n\r\nWe've already begun using the binders to store sketchbook assignments, class notes, and works-in-progress. It's helped my students take more ownership over their learning—they know where to find their materials, they're keeping their artwork in better condition, and they're starting to take pride in how they present their work. As we dive into our next project (a mixed-media visual journal based on identity), the binders are giving students a secure place to track their process and ideas. It's creating a more intentional classroom culture—and I'm so grateful to you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1735871899651,"projectUrl":"project/bound-for-success-1-binders-for-art-fo/8735045/","projectTitle":"Bound for Success: 1\" Binders for Art Foundations Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ariel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9727081_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731986623450","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9727081"},{"teacherId":7768203,"projectId":8794243,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your donations!
