Your support made a tremendous difference, and our students felt it the moment the books arrived. Many of them were overjoyed to receive books they could keep—a first for some of our readers—and that excitement set the tone for the entire experience.\r\nWith their new books in hand, the students immediately dove into creating personalized bookmarks, forming reading groups, and, in many cases, making new friends along the way. Their conversations quickly blossomed into thoughtful discussions about predictions, characters, conflict, plot, and theme. It was inspiring to watch them develop confidence as readers and critical thinkers.\r\nEven more exciting, several groups have already moved on to a second book! Their enthusiasm and growth are a direct result of your kindness.\r\nThank you for investing in our students' love of reading and for helping us create a community where stories are shared, friendships are made, and learning comes to life. We are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1761271758191,"projectUrl":"project/book-clubs/9704686/","projectTitle":"Book Clubs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10253130_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759171667171","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10253130"},{"teacherId":2306261,"projectId":9665562,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your generous donation to my class. The headphones you have helped purchase have been an incredible asset for my students. Because I work with English Language Learners, one of the primary goals is to teach them the basics of how English works, from building their knowledge of letter sounds to combinations, to putting words together to make sentences and answer questions on their own. One of the resources we use for class, Language Live, gives students from all levels of English proficiency an opportunity to learn what most native speakers learn starting in kindergarten. The headphones with this program give the students a safe space to work on these basic skills and continuously build on them. \r\n\r\nThese students also use the headphones to watch videos and respond in English, allowing me to see how their English is progressing from social English to more academically focused English when they are talking. The progression over the year is truly amazing to watch, especially as their confidence grows!","fullyFundedDate":1758295726419,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-ell-understanding/9665562/","projectTitle":"Enhancing ELL Understanding","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2306261_orig.jpg?crop=2544,2544,x0,y16&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756638528769","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/srasmith"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72229","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":779,"numTeachers":72,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.1,"schoolId":72229,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Liberty Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Liberty Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/hillsborough-county-public-school-district/liberty-middle-school/72229"}
