They were so excited to see fresh pencils, highlighters, and even the hygiene items that many of them really needed. Right away, they started using the pencils and highlighters in our reading lessons, marking details and feeling proud of their work. Something as simple as having their own supplies gave them a sense of ownership and confidence, and it's been wonderful to see how much more engaged they are in class.\r\n\r\nThese gifts have gone beyond just schoolwork. The hygiene items have made several students feel more comfortable and cared for, which has helped them focus on learning instead of worrying about what they don't have. Your generosity has not only provided essentials but has reminded my students that there are people who believe in them—and that encouragement means the world.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and reminding them that they matter—your kindness is making a real difference in their lives every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1748921754967,"projectUrl":"project/love-and-care/9282744/","projectTitle":"Love and Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ritchie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005995"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":566,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.0,"schoolId":58555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mason County Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mason County Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/mason-county-school-district/mason-co-middle-school/58555"}
