Because of your generosity, my students were able to read, annotate, and discuss this novel together as a class. Having their own copies meant they could mark important passages, track themes, and return to key moments as they developed their ideas.\r\n\r\nNever Let Me Go sparked some of the most thoughtful conversations we've had this year. Students wrestled with questions about identity, memory, ethics, and what it means to be human. The novel's ambiguity challenged them to move beyond simple answers and support their interpretations with evidence from the text—an essential skill in AP Literature.\r\n\r\nWhat I appreciated most was seeing students become genuinely invested in the story and its characters. Discussions often continued after class ended, and many students made connections between the novel and larger questions about science, society, and personal responsibility.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make those experiences possible. Your support provided more than just books; it gave my students access to a shared literary experience that encouraged critical thinking, meaningful discussion, and a deeper appreciation for literature.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are truly grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1771608266750,"projectUrl":"project/giving-students-an-experience-that-they/10045661/","projectTitle":"Giving Students an Experience That They Will Never Let Go","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Alcorn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8535763_orig.jpg?crop=1397,1397,x826,y617&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768941370984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8535763"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3368","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":775,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":3368,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John M Morehead High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John M Morehead High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/rockingham-county-school-district/john-m-morehead-high-school/3368"}
