When I first started teaching here, the classroom felt like it didn't reflect the potential of the incredible students who walk through its doors every day. Thanks to your support, our space has been transformed into a place that truly shows my students they are valued. The new portable speaker has enriched our lessons, making every audiobook, video, and presentation more engaging and interactive. The cozy couch has created a welcoming corner where students love to read, collaborate, and share ideas, while the versatile whiteboard has become the centerpiece of their creativity and teamwork.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has done more than provide updated materials—it has sent a powerful message to my students that they are worth investing in. I can already see the difference in their attitude and pride in their learning environment. They walk into the classroom with smiles, ready to engage, and motivated to work hard because they know they are in a space that reflects their value and potential. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping create a classroom where they feel inspired, supported, and excited to learn. Your support has made all the difference, and we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1708065311021,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-middle-schoolers-on-molokai/8216569/","projectTitle":"Supporting Middle Schoolers on Molokai","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dudoit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6604449_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x240,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707970071794","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marydudoit"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75308","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":176,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":75308,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Molokai Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Molokai Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/hawaii/maui-school-district/molokai-intermediate-school/75308"}
