Your kindness and support have made a meaningful impact on our young learners, opening their minds and hearts to the rich traditions, stories, and history of Indigenous communities.\r\n\r\nThese books have sparked curiosity and important conversations in our classroom. Our students have been captivated by the beautiful illustrations, engaging stories, and valuable lessons woven into each book. They are developing a deeper appreciation for diversity, respect for different cultures, and a better understanding of the importance of honoring Indigenous voices.\r\n\r\nFor many of our students, this is their first opportunity to learn about Native American heritage through authentic literature. Seeing these stories in our classroom library allows them to explore new perspectives and recognize the contributions of Native American communities in ways that feel meaningful and personal.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create an inclusive and enriching learning environment, and for that, we are truly grateful. Thank you for making a lasting difference in our students' education and for fostering a love of reading and cultural understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1734621491380,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-classroom-diversity-with-nativ/8955175/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Classroom Diversity With Native American Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Orlando","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9843459_orig.jpg?crop=1040,1040,x0,y69&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732186567314","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9843459"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65198","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":432,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.6,"schoolId":65198,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Poland Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Poland Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/rsu-16/poland-community-school/65198"}
