Pérez! My students absolutely loved diving into Malú's world. They were so inspired that many of them wanted to create their own zines, just like the characters in the story. They also kept asking what might happen to Malú next—clear proof of how much they connected with her journey!\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful parts of reading this book together was hearing students share how they related to the characters. They were excited to see families, cultures, and situations that reflect their own lives represented in a novel we read as a class. Having these books in our classroom library has truly opened doors for both joy and deep conversations.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the chance to experience this powerful story together. Your support made our classroom brighter and inspired a new love for reading, creativity, and self-expression.","fullyFundedDate":1716693404468,"projectUrl":"project/every-student-needs-to-know-the-first-ru/8324859/","projectTitle":"Every Student Needs to Know the First Rule of Punk!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ivanez Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9517637_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x72,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713808594669","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-ivanez"},{"teacherId":9109681,"projectId":8720125,"letterContent":"The new desks have made a noticeable difference in my 6th graders' learning environment, and I can't thank you enough for your support in making this possible. These desks offer more than just a fresh look; they are designed to improve both comfort and functionality. \r\n\r\nWith adjustable heights and flexible layouts, the new desks allow students to sit in positions that support better posture, reducing distractions from discomfort. This means they can focus longer and engage more actively with the lessons. Additionally, the extra storage space helps keep their work areas organized, making it easier to access materials quickly and stay on task. \r\n\r\nThe increased space also fosters a more collaborative atmosphere, as students can work in pairs or small groups more comfortably, encouraging peer interaction and group problem-solving. These small changes have had a huge impact on both their concentration and overall enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my students now have an environment that supports their growth, both academically and socially. This investment is helping to build the foundation for their success.","fullyFundedDate":1731601029363,"projectUrl":"project/new-desks-we-beg/8720125/","projectTitle":"New Desks We Beg!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9109681_orig.jpg?crop=819,819,x1518,y685&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725420540711","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9109681"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103332","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":880,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.3,"schoolId":103332,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Great Valley Academy Salida on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Great Valley Academy Salida","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/salida-union-school-district/great-valley-academy-manteca/103332"}
