Through your support, we are addressing a critical gap in our library collection, where currently only 11% of our materials reflect the cultural heritage of our predominantly African American and Hispanic student population. Your donation will help us create a more inclusive and representative library that mirrors the rich diversity of our school community.\r\n\r\n The impact of your gift extends far beyond the physical addition of new books. Research consistently shows that when students see themselves represented in literature, they develop stronger self-esteem, improved reading comprehension, and greater academic engagement. By helping us update our collection with culturally relevant, contemporary materials, you are directly contributing to our students' academic success and emotional well-being. These new resources will replace outdated materials (40% of which are from 2011 or earlier) with fresh, engaging content that resonates with our students' lived experiences.\r\n\r\n Your support demonstrates a profound commitment to educational equity and academic excellence. The new books made possible by your donation will serve as windows and mirrors for our students - windows into diverse perspectives and experiences, and mirrors that reflect their own cultural identities and stories. This investment will yield returns for years to come, fostering a love of reading, strengthening literacy skills, and creating an inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and represented. Thank you for partnering with us in this vital mission to enhance our students' educational experience through diverse, contemporary literature.","fullyFundedDate":1746482756535,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-student-success-through-divers/9133015/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Student Success Through Diverse Library Collections","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jackson - TLM Media Center for ALL Students!","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8497657_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660664516671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8497657"},{"teacherId":8497657,"projectId":8652873,"letterContent":"We are immensely grateful for the generous donation of flexible seating options that have revolutionized our library space. The new additions include comfortable bean bags, wobble stools, and floor cushions, creating a more dynamic and welcoming environment for our students. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to our generous donors who have made this transformation possible, enhancing our students' learning experience in ways we couldn't have imagined.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions upon seeing the new flexible seating arrangements were nothing short of magical. Their faces lit up with excitement as they explored the various seating options, and many expressed their appreciation through spontaneous thank-you notes and enthusiastic comments. The ability to choose their preferred learning space has empowered our students, making them feel more valued and respected in their learning environment. We've noticed a significant increase in library visits and extended reading times since the implementation of these new resources.\r\n\r\nThe impact on learning has been remarkable, and we're utilizing these resources in numerous ways throughout our daily activities. Students are now able to collaborate more effectively in small groups using the movable furniture, while others find quiet, comfortable spots for individual reading and study. These new options have increased student engagement during library sessions, and we've observed improved focus and productivity when students are given the autonomy to select their preferred seating arrangement. \r\n\r\nThis wonderful gift has truly transformed our library into a more inclusive, comfortable, and student-centered learning space that better serves our diverse learning community.","fullyFundedDate":1731437743609,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-library-success/8652873/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Library Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jackson - TLM Media Center for ALL Students!","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8497657_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660664516671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8497657"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5942","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":333,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":58,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":61.4,"schoolId":5942,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Triangle Lake Montessori Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Triangle Lake Montessori Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/guilford-county-schools/triangle-lake-montessori-elementary-school/5942"}
