I am blown away by the range of places where donations for this project came from. So many of you are people I have never met before, who simply donated because you believe in reading and its power to shape the minds of children. Thank you for seeing the value in reading. Thank you for wanting to give children access to as many different titles of books as possible. Thank you for investing in the education of my students! \r\n\r\nAdding new books to the classroom library has brought a spark to our classroom community that was not there at the beginning of the year. It has inspired students to try different genres, has started conversation among kids about what books they plan to read next, and has kids excited to browse for their next title. \r\n\r\nWithout your support, this wouldn't have been possible. You are making a difference in the lives of my students, and I could not be more thankful for your partnership.","fullyFundedDate":1733236916542,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-macs-independent-reading-project/8814326/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Mac's Independent Reading Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. MacMurchy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2430515"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90465","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1268,"numTeachers":90,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.4,"schoolId":90465,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Colonial Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Colonial Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/colonial-school-district/colonial-middle-school/90465"}
