Thanks to your support, my sixth-grade students were able to experience the incredible novel Out of My Mind together as a class. Having a full set of books meant every student could follow along, annotate, and truly immerse themselves in Melody's story.\r\n\r\nThis novel opened up powerful conversations about empathy, inclusion, and perseverance. My students learned what it means to look beyond a person's challenges and truly see their strengths. Many expressed how the story changed the way they think about others and inspired them to be kinder and more understanding.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide books — it helped create a shared reading experience that strengthened our classroom community. It gave my students the opportunity to grow not just as readers, but as compassionate young people.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and making a lasting difference in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1738445853389,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-novel-studies/8962702/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Novel Studies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lawhon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7597053_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729274732507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7597053"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12101","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":215,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":12101,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Blooming Grove Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Blooming Grove Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/blooming-grove-independent-school-district/blooming-grove-junior-high-school/12101"}
