Your support has placed engaging books and literacy resources directly into the hands of our students, sparking excitement and meaningful participation. Our elementary students are not only reading more but also challenging one another through friendly competition, while families have joined us for an evening event that introduced program activities for the spring.\r\nIn our middle school Reading Strategies class, literacy has come alive through real-world connections. Students engaged in an activity where they read and edited instructions with missing punctuation, then compared how meaning changed once corrections were made—ultimately revealing a fun cupcake decorating activity facilitated by mentors. Students also explored informational texts about robotics before visiting our STEM (EAST) classroom to see robotics in action, where they asked deeper questions, made connections between text and technology, and engaged in meaningful discussions that extended far beyond the page.\r\nLooking ahead, our library program will host a cultural day highlighting countries and cultures represented in our school community. Students will work alongside mentors through reading conferences and workshops to create t-shirt book reports and participate in a fashion show. Because of you, students are building reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence while discovering a genuine love for books, and classrooms are becoming communities of readers, thinkers, and encouragers. Your support is shaping mindsets, strengthening relationships, and opening doors for our students' futures—thank you for believing in our students and investing in their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1765591657794,"projectUrl":"project/pass-the-page-tigers-edition/9799466/","projectTitle":"Pass the Page - Tiger’s Edition","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rufus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10304791"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53365","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":170,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":68,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":44.0,"schoolId":53365,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brinkley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brinkley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/brinkley-public-schools/brinkley-high-school/53365"}
