Thanks to your contribution, we were able to provide our students with a collection of inspiring and relatable books that have had a profound impact on their love for reading.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, independent reading has always been a challenge for my high school students, particularly those with reading disabilities. While many students are hesitant to engage with books, finding the right stories can spark their interest and make all the difference. That's where your donation has truly transformed the reading experience.\r\n\r\nThe sports-themed books on soccer and basketball, which were selected specifically based on requests from my male students, have caught their attention in an unexpected and exciting way. The inspirational stories of athletes overcoming challenges and pushing themselves to achieve greatness have not only motivated them to read more, but also helped them connect deeply with the material. These books have given my students the chance to see themselves reflected in stories of perseverance, determination, and success, something that is especially powerful for students who often feel disconnected from traditional academic content.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom now looks different. Students are eager to dive into these books during independent reading time, and many have started sharing their favorite passages with each other, fostering discussions and connections. It has become clear that when students are given access to stories they can relate to, their engagement increases dramatically. For the first time in a long time, I see my students excited about reading on their own terms.\r\n\r\nOne of the most gratifying moments has been seeing students who previously struggled with reading disabilities start to enjoy the process. Their eyes light up when they find a book that speaks to their interests. Their growing confidence in reading has translated into a more positive attitude toward learning in general, which has made a lasting impact not only on their literacy skills but also on their overall academic engagement.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, this project has been a success, and we are seeing tangible results. The books are helping to bridge the gap between academic challenges and the joy of reading, and the transformation in my students' attitudes toward reading is inspiring.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you once again for making this project possible. Your support has empowered my students to become confident, motivated readers, and we are all so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1701668022861,"projectUrl":"project/black-and-brown-young-men-read-for-the-g/7944552/","projectTitle":"Black and Brown Young Men Read for the Goal","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2364937_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1528824897427","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-idiaz"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5797","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":490,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":5797,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Farragut Career Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Farragut Career Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/farragut-career-academy/5797"}
