This diverse selection means our students can see characters of various races, abilities, family structures, and experiences.\r\n\r\nThe diverse stories inspire our students to dream big! When they read about characters who overcome challenges, they realize they can do the same in their own lives. Through the gift of books I have watched my students' view of themselves and their capabilities soar and expand. Through our new library they have been challenged to see the world and events from different perspectives and bring that empathy into our daily conversations.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1723565107758,"projectUrl":"project/building-bridges-through-books-help-us/8329076/","projectTitle":"Building Bridges Through Books: Help Us Expand Our Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Michinock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8557768_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y310&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714506457726","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8557768"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9150","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":772,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.3,"schoolId":9150,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Patton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Patton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/austin-independent-school-district/patton-elementary-school/9150"}
