They are already enjoying the novel, Damselfly, which I selected as an alternative to the 1950's novel Lord of the Flies. This novel is very dense and quite difficult for my students to understand. They have not engaged in the novel over the years. However, with the addition of Damselfly, with similar topics, my students are engaged.\r\n\r\nReading is such a lost art in life, and it is often a difficult task for my language learners. It is so important for any reader to read for pleasure. I know that my students will enjoy Damselfly and its themes and topics. I will be creating activities for the students to complete as we work with the novel over the next few weeks, which will demonstrate their comprehension.\r\n\r\nAgain, I so appreciate your investment in my students and my classroom. I know they will never forget the kindness that strangers have shown my students. In today's climate, that is so important.","fullyFundedDate":1755781893704,"projectUrl":"project/lord-of-the-flies-for-todays-students/9556548/","projectTitle":"Lord of the Flies for Today's Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hoffman-Wehmeier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp485841_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720565154469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mowehmeier"},{"teacherId":485841,"projectId":9321336,"letterContent":"Thank you for your kind support of my project. The book, Solito, is about a young boy who travels to the United States by himself to become reunited with his family. I have students in my classroom who also have traveled alone to make it to safety in the US.\r\n\r\nBooks are a window to the soul. My students are much more invested in reading when they can see themselves in the pages they read. I take great pride in researching books which I think will be a \"best fit\" for my classroom. When they are engaged in reading, they learn that reading for pleasure is indeed an enjoyable activity.\r\n\r\nIt takes a village to educate students today, especially those I have in my classes. We will never know some of the pain, heartache, and fears my students have already faced in their young lives. By your donation you show them people care and want the best for all students. I thank you so much for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1746739450485,"projectUrl":"project/no-somos-solitos-we-are-not-alone/9321336/","projectTitle":"No Somos Solitos We Are Not Alone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hoffman-Wehmeier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp485841_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720565154469","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mowehmeier"},{"teacherId":9537851,"projectId":8852483,"letterContent":"The new uniform storage racks have made an immediate and positive impact on our JROTC program. Instead of dealing with wrinkled, misplaced, or crowded uniforms, cadets now have a dedicated, organized space to store their gear properly. This has reinforced responsibility, attention to detail, and pride in their appearance—essential qualities for future leaders. \r\n\r\nThese racks have streamlined uniform storage, ensuring quick and easy access for drills, and special events. With an organized system in place, cadets can maintain their uniforms in excellent condition, reducing distractions and allowing more focus on leadership training and skill development. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, these racks will play a key role in preparing for upcoming JROTC competitions, formal inspections, and community events where cadets represent their school and program. With their uniforms well-maintained and ready to go, they can concentrate on leadership development, drill performances, and team-building exercises. Thanks to your generosity, our program now has a storage solution that enhances readiness and efficiency in everything we do!","fullyFundedDate":1731335004538,"projectUrl":"project/uniform-excellence-storage-racks-for-j/8852483/","projectTitle":"\"Uniform Excellence: Storage Racks for JROTC Cadets\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McIlrath","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9537851"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20517","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2956,"numTeachers":122,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":20517,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Center Grove High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Center Grove High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/center-grove-community-school-corporation/center-grove-high-school/20517"}
