I connected with the book and I have never connected with a book, that's why I didn't like reading. But after reading this book and a couple of his other books I have a strong connection with these books. Thank you. I'm so happy my last year of middle school I got to read the best book in the world to connect with. Thank you to all the teachers for picking this book.\"\r\n\r\nStudents were engaged and excited to read every day. Community members read to and with students, high school students came down to read in classrooms, and students created amazing projects to go with the book. It was a great activity to bring us all together, and we appreciate you helping make this idea a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1765292053777,"projectUrl":"project/read-across-susquenita-a-community-col/9851087/","projectTitle":"Read Across Susquenita - A Community Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gilroy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471999"},{"teacherId":9471999,"projectId":10026987,"letterContent":"The Susquenita community is extremely grateful for your generous donation which allowed us to purchase coats and sweatshirts for a warming cart in our middle school.

Almost everything has been put to use at some point so far. Students are enjoying the markers, colored pencils, crayons, and paper to create artistic renditions of texts we're reading. Sticky notes have been used for students to stay organized and also for them to write kind notes to one another for a kindness project we've been doing. And other supplies, like folders, binders, and pencils have been given to students who may not be able to purchase these on their own. These supplies have helped make my classroom an inviting area where students feel supported and connected to one another. So again, thank you for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1754837180195,"projectUrl":"project/jumpstart-the-26-27-school-year/9295447/","projectTitle":"Jumpstart the 26-27 School Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gilroy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471999"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58998","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":562,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.1,"schoolId":58998,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Susquenita Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Susquenita Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/susquenita-school-district/susquenita-middle-school/58998"}
