Thanks to your support, my students now have access to clean, proper uniforms, removing a significant barrier to their education. Without the worry of what they will wear to school, they can come to class with confidence, ready to focus on learning rather than feeling self-conscious or out of place.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, home life presents challenges beyond the classroom. Families who are new to this country often struggle to meet basic needs, and purchasing school uniforms can be an added financial burden. Your contribution has helped bridge this gap, easing the stress on families and ensuring that students have what they need to fully participate in their education.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are showing up to school with pride, eager to engage and grow. They are attending more consistently, interacting more confidently with their peers, and focusing on their studies instead of worrying about their clothing. Something as simple as a uniform has given them a sense of belonging and stability, which is invaluable as they navigate the challenges of adjusting to a new environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of these incredible students. Your kindness and support have not only provided essential items but have also given my students the opportunity to learn, thrive, and dream of a brighter future.","fullyFundedDate":1735965825711,"projectUrl":"project/confidently-clothed-uniforms-for-the-wi/9027505/","projectTitle":"Confidently Clothed: Uniforms for the Winter Season","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Self","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9886357_orig.jpg?crop=2169,2169,x0,y260&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735927746737","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9886357"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14279","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1168,"numTeachers":65,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.3,"schoolId":14279,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Semmes Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Semmes Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/mobile-county-public-schools/semmes-middle-school/14279"}
