Your gift had an incredible impact on my classroom and my students' learning experience. Before receiving these books, our Holocaust unit lacked essential texts that allowed students to fully understand the experiences of victims during this tragic time in history. Thanks to your donation, my students were able to read Night and connect deeply with Elie Wiesel's story. This text helped them move beyond basic facts and statistics. They were able to understand the personal suffering, loss, and resilience of Holocaust victims in a way that no textbook could provide. The conversations we had after reading were thoughtful, emotional, and reflective of their growth in both knowledge and empathy. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of Ms. Grossman. Your donation brought a meaningful and lasting learning experience to my classroom, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1735685719304,"projectUrl":"project/support-holocaust-education-donate-nig/9022918/","projectTitle":"Support Holocaust Education – Donate Night to Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9884711"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95852","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1383,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":95852,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rockvale Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rockvale Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/rutherford-county-school-district/rockvale-middle-school/95852"}
