Your support has brought our 40 Book Challenge to life in such a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have engaging new books to choose from, which helps them discover stories that inspire them to read more. The materials for creating yard signs will allow us to proudly celebrate each reader's accomplishment in a fun and visible way — a moment of recognition that means so much to them and their families. And thanks to the keychain and bead supplies, students can now track their progress in a hands-on, creative way that keeps them motivated to reach their reading goals.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping foster a genuine love of reading in my students. Each book they open and each bead they add represents another step in their growth as readers and thinkers — and none of it would be possible without you.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and for investing in the joy of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1725998638348,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-readers-the-40-book-ch/8538857/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Readers: the 40 Book Challenge for 5th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Omogrosso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3735967_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1489024759483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3735967"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88822","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":698,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":88822,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Highland Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Highland Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/blackhawk-school-district/highland-middle-school/88822"}
