Your kindness is doing far more than providing a fun snack — it is helping us turn reading into a celebration. This popcorn machine will be used as a literacy incentive to reward students for meeting reading goals, completing challenges, and developing a love for books. For many of our students, this simple reward becomes a powerful motivator. The smell of popcorn will soon mean something special in our library: success, accomplishment, and the joy of reading.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, students will associate books with positive experiences, encouragement, and community. You are helping us create a space where reading feels exciting, welcoming, and worth celebrating.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your support and for believing in the importance of literacy. Your contribution is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, and we cannot wait to share the joy your donation will bring.","fullyFundedDate":1762708351669,"projectUrl":"project/popped-for-reading-incentives-to-grow-r/9883596/","projectTitle":"Popped for Reading: Incentives to Grow Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8614057_orig.jpg?crop=2530,2530,x302,y695&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690387084261","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8614057"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48738","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":701,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":90,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.1,"schoolId":48738,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ronald McNair Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ronald McNair Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/ronald-mcnair-middle-school/48738"}
