Your support has brought so much joy, curiosity, and magic into our room. Every book you helped provide has opened new doors for my students—doors to new worlds, new perspectives, and new skills that will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading isn't just an assignment—it's an experience. Each day, students gather with their books in cozy reading corners, under the soft glow of string lights and disco balls, ready to dive into stories that make them think, laugh, and feel. The new books have allowed us to build engaging lessons around essential skills like analyzing character development, identifying themes, comparing points of view, and making inferences. We've had powerful discussions about empathy, courage, and resilience—all sparked by the stories your donations made possible.\r\n\r\nThese books have also transformed independent reading time. My students now eagerly browse our shelves to find \"just right\" books that match their interests and reading levels. One student, who previously struggled to stay engaged with reading, discovered a new favorite series from our donated collection and now begs for extra time to read. Another student proudly finished her very first chapter book and immediately asked, \"What can I read next?\" Moments like these are what every teacher dreams of.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students see themselves as readers. They talk about books with their friends, recommend titles to one another, and even write about their favorite characters in their journals. These are the building blocks of a lifelong love of literacy—and you helped lay them.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their imaginations, growth, and future. Your generosity is making a real difference every single day in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,\r\nMiss Vaughan\r\n6th Grade ELA Teacher\r\nMendenhall Elementary School","fullyFundedDate":1747598497421,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-love-for-reading-in-7th-grade/9117855/","projectTitle":"Creating a Love for Reading in 7th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vaughan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9925996_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748501764749","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9925996"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16276","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":543,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":47,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":25.0,"schoolId":16276,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mendenhall Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mendenhall Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/simpson-county-school-district/mendenhall-elementary-school/16276"}
