After our library was renovated, we were left without books or materials, so your support has truly helped bring our space back to life. Because of you, the library feels more inviting, and students have been coming in not just to check out books, but to explore and enjoy the new activities.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They asked if they were allowed to use them, and once they learned they had full access, their reactions were priceless. I've heard comments like, \"The library is fun,\" and \"I want to come in here.\" Several students have even asked to be dismissed from gym class just to spend time in the library and unwind. That alone speaks volumes. These resources have already made a meaningful difference in how students see and use the space.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given us a stepping stone. From here, my goal is to continue building our library into a place where students feel inspired to be creative, try new activities, discover new interests, and simply feel welcome.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create something special.","fullyFundedDate":1764734847324,"projectUrl":"project/making-stem-spark-in-the-school-library/9894353/","projectTitle":"Making STEM Spark in the School Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dogan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3022705_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1467869715405","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-e-dogan"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16103","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":337,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":96,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":16.9,"schoolId":16103,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thomas E Edwards High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thomas E Edwards High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/sunflower-county-consolidated-school-district/ruleville-central-high-school/16103"}
