Many students, who previously struggled to find books that resonated with them, have discovered stories that speak directly to their experiences and interests. With a diverse range of genres and topics, these books have encouraged reluctant readers to engage more deeply with literature.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the availability of these books has fostered a sense of community within the classroom. Discussions about characters, plots, and themes have become more vibrant and inclusive, as students eagerly share their insights and perspectives. The stories have also served as catalysts for critical thinking and empathy, allowing students to explore complex issues and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the presence of these books has bolstered literacy skills and my students are more motivated to read outside of class; this increased exposure to literature has contributed to their overall academic growth.\r\n\r\nThe impact of the donation extends beyond the academic realm, as well. The joy and excitement that come with discovering a new favorite book have brought a palpable energy to the classroom, creating an environment where learning is both fun and fulfilling.","fullyFundedDate":1733016113599,"projectUrl":"project/ya-middle-school-classroom-library/8541749/","projectTitle":"YA Middle School Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9620463_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761234016586","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9620463"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98070","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":621,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.2,"schoolId":98070,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/california-department-of-education/aspire-vanguard-college-preparatory-academy-/98070"}
