Because of your kindness and generosity, my students have materials to help keep their reading sharp and their minds engaged this summer. \r\nToday was my last student book club of the school year. Each of my book club students is taking home at least six books today, books they got to choose because of you. The happiness on their faces and the excited chatter as they picked out their books made my day better. The students loved their options and ran to choose the books they wanted. Although they probably don't recognize this yet, I understand how powerful access to quality and engaging reading material is in their lives. \r\nAgain, thank you. Thank you for helping my students, and thank you for recognizing the importance of reading and books in my students' lives. They appreciate you, and so do I.","fullyFundedDate":1744239194394,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-book-club-members-continue-to-re/9242068/","projectTitle":"Help My Book Club Members Continue to Read This Summer!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5901815_orig.jpg?crop=2200,2200,x100,y648&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1638243445122","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dchslibrary"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56761","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2178,"numTeachers":112,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":81,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.9,"schoolId":56761,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dodge City High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dodge City High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/dodge-city-unified-school-district-443/dodge-city-high-school/56761"}
