Ms. Abby wrote a letter with pictures that will be included.\r\nFirst of all, thank you for your generous donation to our program. The 130 books meant that every sophomore was able to crack a brand new book. Our book room is filled with many books that are 75 years old! While I think it's neat to get old books, it's not as cool when you are 15.\r\nThis book was a wild success. The students absolutely loved it. We realized a lot of them had no time to really process the isolation from Covid, and this became a vehicle for them to share their experiences (and that was serendipity, we weren't even going for that). They found deep meaning in the poetry and art, and are now starting to create their own books.\r\nMoney is tight. This makes creating new curriculum with new texts difficult. The big textbooks from the big publishers don't have the same impact. You helped make their experience exciting and unique.\r\nThank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1733252255794,"projectUrl":"project/using-poetry-and-art-to-navigate-difficu/8753036/","projectTitle":"Using Poetry and Art to Navigate Difficult Times","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Coffey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coffeys-class"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96371","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":456,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.8,"schoolId":96371,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Middle College Adv Studies on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Middle College Adv Studies","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/portland-public-schools/jefferson-high-school/96371"}
