This basketball league has been one of our newest and biggest adventures this year. This has been a great way to increase our movement throughout the day, meet new friends, and interact with former friends from other districts!\r\n\r\nThe balls and ball bags come in handy when we have away games. It makes pre-game warm easier because we have enough basketballs for everyone to practice. It also makes traveling on the bus much easier. \r\n\r\nHaving the jerseys and numbers has been helpful for when we have additional players and need jerseys. When the packages came in the students were thrilled! We only had 3 basketballs to start with, so having our own set was very impactful.\r\n\r\nWe plan on expanding the league next year. Currently we play one game per month, and we are hoping for 2 games, and expanding the league from 6 schools to 12.

We have opened the library and it is now a much more inviting space. The students are enjoying the use of the library, which has not been operational in almost a decade. It is a space they very much deserve that is clean and bright. Thanks to you we have a working clock now, that we did not before. We have used the rotating shelves to highlight books that are seasonally featured. We have used the acrylic frames to highlight different cultures based on the heritage awareness months. These displays have enhanced interest in the different cultures and featured titles. We use the dry erase markers for fun signage as well as instruction on our whiteboards. The students get very excited when they see the new displays each month which keeps things fresh and exciting.","fullyFundedDate":1755892921660,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-literacy-by-beautifying-our-li/9606685/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Literacy By Beautifying Our Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shultz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10024015_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y84&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755298698204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10024015"},{"teacherId":9742904,"projectId":9641522,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for you help funding this project!

These items added to our emerging library, and are able to bring some fun incentives to the middle school students. \r\n\r\nWe are excited for our new resources! We have been working with the Tech department to create school designs on the cricut to imprint on the bags. We will be using these bags as giveaway prizes for when students check out books. All of the binding supplies are crucial, because even though we talk about book care, we have already received books that have been bruised. We are able to better protect their binding and any pages that may be torn. \r\n\r\nThese items may seen basic, but really add a spark to our program and to the library.

For instance, the outdoor thermometer gives us more data and a better way to track our greenhouse.\r\n\r\nAs we continue, we are hoping to elaborate our watering system.

Last year a couple teachers and I spent hours, sorting through the books. No nonfiction was prior to 2000 as a publishing date. Many books were old, falling apart, or not appropriate. The walls were red and maroon, a very strange combination. Our chairs were what we believe to be original to the building (celebrating 50 years). \r\nWe raised funds, had drives, repainted, cleaned and cleaned. This fall we have students checking out books for the first time. They are excited to be in the space. It is clean, bright, and welcoming. The stools we received are well loved. The kids go immediately to them to use with their laptops. The chrome on them is so shiny, they really respond to the newness and clean of the look. \r\nThe decoding pens are fascinating to all the students, although it is just a lucky few who have been able to use them, one student sticks out in particular to want to read more with this new technology. It will also help with our English language learners and instructors to communicate. \r\nThank you for helping with our project!","fullyFundedDate":1755039014006,"projectUrl":"project/media-center-reopening/9540300/","projectTitle":"Media Center Reopening","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shultz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10024015_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y84&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755298698204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10024015"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71750","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":164,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.9,"schoolId":71750,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wilkinson Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wilkinson Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/madison-public-school-district/wilkinson-middle-school/71750"}
