After missing so many milestones due to the pandemic, it meant the world to see them dancing at their Enchanted Forest prom, enjoying Field Day fun in the sun, and walking across the stage to receive well-earned awards in front of their families.\r\n\r\nYour donation helped us give students — many from under-resourced communities — the kind of memorable experiences that remind them they are seen, valued, and worthy of celebration. These moments didn't just close out their middle school years; they gave them hope and confidence stepping into high school. Thank you for helping us make this chapter one they'll never forget.","fullyFundedDate":1651623980693,"projectUrl":"project/lets-celebrate-the-8th-graders/6442397/","projectTitle":"Let's Celebrate the 8th Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8397592_orig.jpg?crop=300,300,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649256935898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8397592"},{"teacherId":6753651,"projectId":8822829,"letterContent":"I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our middle grades book club. Thanks to your support, we have been able to provide engaging, high-quality books that inspire a love of reading and spark meaningful discussions among our students.\r\n\r\nThese new books are helping us introduce important reading skills such as critical thinking, making inferences, analyzing themes, and understanding different perspectives. Through our discussions, students are learning how to connect literature to their own lives, ask thoughtful questions, and express their ideas with confidence.\r\n\r\nStudents are encouraged to engage deeply with the text—making predictions and connections, discussing, and even acting out scenes. Our book club meetings have become a space where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and exploring new ideas together.\r\n\r\nWatching students excitedly flip through pages, eager to discuss the story, has been a joy to see. One student, shared that this was the first time they truly connected with a character in a book, which has motivated them to read even more. These moments are a testament to the power of books and the impact of your generosity.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and their futures. Your support is making a meaningful difference, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our reading community.","fullyFundedDate":1735700750896,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-minds-expanding-our-mi/8822829/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Minds: Expanding Our Middle Grades Book Club Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6753651_orig.jpg?crop=1084,1084,x19,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651086519133","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6753651"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74958","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1173,"numTeachers":87,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"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":54.7,"schoolId":74958,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tucker Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tucker Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/tucker-middle-school/74958"}
