Each book you helped fund opens new possibilities for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing learners and shows them that their voices, languages, and stories matter. Our students light up when they find characters who sign, wear hearing aids, or use cochlear implants. They are beginning to see themselves not just as readers but as part of a vibrant community that values communication in all its forms. For some, it is the first time they have seen their experiences represented in print. For others, these stories are helping them explore their Deaf identity and feel proud of who they are.\r\n\r\nThese books have also inspired meaningful conversations among peers and families. They are helping everyone better understand Deaf culture, accessibility, and inclusion. They have become tools for language growth, confidence building, and connection. Your support made this possible. You did more than help us buy books. You helped our students feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for believing in the power of representation and for helping create a space where every child can learn with pride and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1746217386422,"projectUrl":"project/seeing-ourselves-a-library-of-deaf-and/9246187/","projectTitle":"Seeing Ourselves: A Library of Deaf and Disability Pride","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Seago","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1447062_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449236190424","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/atownsend"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132618","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"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":0.0,"schoolId":132618,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about MISD Student Support Center - Deaf Education on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"MISD Student Support Center - Deaf Education","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/mesquite-independent-school-district/misd-student-support-center-deaf-education/132618"}
