Because of your choice to support us, three new books have been added to our collection—and into the hands of eager students.\r\n\r\nMiddle school is a pivotal time. It is often the moment where a student decides if they are \"a reader\" for life. By providing these books, you aren't just giving us paper and ink; you are giving these students safe spaces to explore, new characters to identify with, and the incredible joy of getting lost in a story.\r\n\r\nFor my students, our book club is more than just a before-school activity. It's a place where they can talk, debate, and share their love for literature. When they saw the new books arrive, the excitement in the room was palpable. Knowing that there are people like you who want to support their reading habits makes them feel seen and supported.\r\n\r\nYour gift ensures that our club can continue to be a sanctuary for curiosity and passion. Thank you for believing in the power of reading and for helping us keep our shelves stocked and our minds open.","fullyFundedDate":1765479033217,"projectUrl":"project/every-book-is-a-new-adventure/9881457/","projectTitle":"Every Book Is a New Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lashinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10345302_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762490920618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10345302"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74482","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2158,"numTeachers":102,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":57.6,"schoolId":74482,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Horizon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Horizon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/moorhead-independent-school-district-152/horizon-middle-school/74482"}
