Your support has truly helped transform this space into a vibrant, living classroom. When the students first saw the materials, they were excited and curious. It was a moment of joy and wonder. The garden quickly became a hands-on learning hub where students rolled up their sleeves, dug into the soil, and brought the garden to life. They took pride in planting, water, and nurturing the space and their sense of ownership has been inspiring. \r\n\r\nThe impact has reached far beyond the students working directly in the garden. Our Photography class has embraced the opportunity to document the garden's transformation, capturing nature in action. Additionally, our Teen Scene program has become an integral part of the garden community, sharing the space and contributing their time and care. The garden has not only grown plants, but it has also grown connection, creativity, and community. Thank you again for making this all possible. Your generosity has planted seeds that will continue to flourish for seasons to come.","fullyFundedDate":1738170352710,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds-cultivating-our-middle-sc/8997583/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds: Cultivating Our Middle School Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ondatje","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9869008_orig.png?crop=306,307,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735590291835","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9869008"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_80763","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":906,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":"25.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":93.6,"schoolId":80763,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lone Hill Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lone Hill Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/bonita-unified-school-district/lone-hill-middle-school/80763"}
