These resources arrive at a critical moment, offering far more than books and materials—they provide opportunity, structure, and hope. Many of our students have experienced educational disruptions, and access to quality literacy tools helps close gaps that can otherwise limit confidence, academic growth, and future pathways.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these supplies is already being felt in the classroom. Students are engaging more consistently in reading, writing, and discussion activities, developing stronger communication skills and a renewed sense of accomplishment. Literacy is foundational not only for academic success, but also for personal growth, decision-making, and self-expression. With these materials, our youth are better equipped to reflect on their experiences, articulate goals, and prepare for reentry into school, work, or training programs.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support sends a powerful message to these young people: they matter, and their future is worth investing in. For adjudicated youth, that belief can be transformative. Your generosity strengthens our ability to create a safe, structured, and motivating learning environment where accountability, resilience, and growth are possible. Thank you for playing a meaningful role in helping our students build brighter, more productive futures through literacy.","fullyFundedDate":1760805386399,"projectUrl":"project/readers-writers-and-money-makers-buil/9835544/","projectTitle":"Readers, Writers, and Money Makers: Building Literacy Through Financial Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10314880"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47446","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":72,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":47446,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ferris School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ferris School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/delaware-department-of-education/ferris-school/47446"}
