Your support has provided much more than just books—you have opened the door to meaningful conversations, personal connections, and powerful learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThis book is one that students can truly relate to, learn from, and enjoy. Trevor Noah's humor, honesty, and storytelling style make reading accessible and engaging, even for students who sometimes struggle to find books that speak to them. Having their own copies to read together in class not only builds excitement for reading but also strengthens literacy skills that will serve them for years to come.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, Born a Crime offers students the chance to explore cultures and histories different from their own. It teaches important lessons about identity, resilience, and the negative effects of racism—lessons that are not only relevant to history but also to the world our students live in today. The discussions sparked by this book will help shape empathetic, thoughtful young people who can see beyond their own experiences and connect with others in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made this possible. Thank you for believing in the power of reading and for investing in our students' growth, literacy, and understanding of the world.","fullyFundedDate":1746843087162,"projectUrl":"project/it-would-be-a-crime-for-students-to-miss/9147953/","projectTitle":"It Would Be A Crime For Students To Miss This","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. R.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp173427_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471403914249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-ripple"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90957","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":290,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":98,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":44.8,"schoolId":90957,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Galeton Area School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Galeton Area School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/galeton-area-school-district/galeton-area-school/90957"}
