Thanks to you, our students now have four copies each of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, and There There by Tommy Orange, fueling vibrant literature circles that hum with insight and connection. These novels, rich with themes of identity, family, and societal tension, have turned our classroom into a hub of discovery, where students wrestle with big ideas and find their voices. Your gift has made it possible for every student to hold a book that feels like both a mirror and a window, and for that, I am deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nIn our literature circles, these books have sparked electric discussions that showcase my students' unstoppable curiosity. Picture small groups huddled around tables, annotating passages from There There to debate the interconnected lives of Native characters, or passionately dissecting the moral choices in All the Light We Cannot See. Students who once shied away from sharing, now light up connecting Ng's exploration of privilege to her own experiences. These novels aren't just texts; they're catalysts for empathy and critical thinking, empowering my diverse students to see themselves and others in new ways. Thank you for giving them the tools to shine.","fullyFundedDate":1746495957748,"projectUrl":"project/lit-sparks-igniting-student-readers/9234108/","projectTitle":"Lit Sparks: Igniting Student Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2483506_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531441585649","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2483506"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85333","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":726,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":85333,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tri - Valley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tri - Valley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/tri-valley-local-school-dist/tri-valley-high-school/85333"}
