For us, this isn't just about adding new titles to a shelf; it's about giving students a real purpose for deep reading. The competition naturally demands that they go beyond just knowing the plot—they have to focus on the nitty-gritty details, the author's intent, and the themes. It essentially forces them to develop the kind of critical thinking and analytical skills that will serve them long after they leave our classrooms, all while building their reading stamina in a fun way.\r\n\r\nThe most heartwarming impact, though, is how this donation has transformed reading into a social event. Suddenly, reading isn't a lonely activity assigned for homework; it's the foundation of a team sport. We see students—from the naturally bookish kid who finally found her tribe, to the student who previously resisted reading—working together, dividing up the books, and passionately debating characters and settings. The pride on their faces when they correctly answer a tough question is palpable. For some, especially those who haven't found their niche in traditional sports or clubs, Battle of the Books provides a much-needed, positive community where their intelligence and love for stories are truly celebrated. It's about giving them a space where being smart is the coolest thing in the room.","fullyFundedDate":1746553869469,"projectUrl":"project/donate-to-ignite-minds-supporting-battl/9228874/","projectTitle":"Donate to Ignite Minds: Supporting Battle of the Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4904681_orig.png?crop=1280,1280,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743703856678","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4904681"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95847","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":590,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":95847,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Providence Grove High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Providence Grove High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/randolph-county-school-district/providence-grove-high-school/95847"}
