When the boxes arrived, I could hardly contain my own joy as I unpacked each book and filled our shelves with stories that celebrate discovery, imagination, and possibility. On the first day of school, my students' faces lit up as they explored the collection. They were drawn to colorful covers and pages that reflected the world through curious, creative eyes.\r\n\r\nThese books have quickly become one of our most loved classroom treasures. Students eagerly reach for them after finishing their work or during our daily independent reading time, especially those filled with fascinating facts about animals, space, and the wonders of our world. The library has become a place where curiosity thrives and every child feels empowered to see themselves as a scientist, explorer, or problem solver.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students now have daily opportunities to connect reading with discovery. They see scientists who look like them, read about questions they want to explore, and find joy in learning beyond our lessons. You've helped create a space that inspires wonder, confidence, and belonging. This is a gift my students and I will cherish every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1750290248312,"projectUrl":"project/opening-doors-through-science-a-library/9418311/","projectTitle":"Opening Doors Through Science: A Library for Equity and Possibility","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vargas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10057900_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750127113931","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10057900"},{"teacherId":3455660,"projectId":8782826,"letterContent":"Thank you for your remarkable generosity in funding my project, What Does It Mean to Be Independent? The MacBook Air has allowed me to create a dynamic and engaging financial literacy project that offers my students invaluable knowledge and skills. Teaching in a low-income, high-need community, I see firsthand how rare it is for students to gain exposure to true financial literacy—and how transformative it can be.\r\n\r\nThis project is designed to equip students with practical tools to navigate real-world financial decisions, such as budgeting, understanding taxes, and evaluating career choices. It empowers them to envision a future of independence and stability while fostering conversations at home, where parents may not have had access to this information before. By learning these essential skills, students can not only plan for their own success but also become a resource for their families.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, it is profoundly rewarding to create a project that bridges classroom learning with practical application, sparking curiosity and confidence in my students. Your support has made this vision a reality, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to impact lives beyond the classroom. Thank you for helping to lay the foundation for a brighter future for my students and their families.","fullyFundedDate":1735665526425,"projectUrl":"project/what-does-it-mean-to-be-independent/8782826/","projectTitle":"What Does It Mean to Be Independent?","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Fray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3455660_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726393724466","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rashan-fray"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131728","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":131728,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about KIPP: Affirm Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"KIPP: Affirm Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/kipp-affirm-middle-school/131728"}
