Because of your generosity, my students were able to dive into powerful, age-appropriate books that brought history to life in a way no textbook ever could. As we read and discussed the novels, I watched my students develop empathy, ask thoughtful questions, and make meaningful connections to the world around them. These stories opened their eyes to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of remembering the past.\r\n\r\nMy students truly enjoyed the books and were deeply engaged with each character's journey. They looked forward to reading time each day and often begged to read \"just one more chapter.\" Many of them shared how much they were moved by the stories and how they had never read anything like it before. One student even said, \"This book made me think about history differently—it felt real.\" Thank you for helping us create such a powerful and unforgettable learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1612204953821,"projectUrl":"project/back-in-time-a-look-at-the-holocaust-th/5393732/","projectTitle":"Back in Time, a Look at the Holocaust Through Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dickinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7744116_orig.jpg?crop=980,980,x833,y980&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611976479807","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7744116"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11766","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1068,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":11766,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frank B Agnew Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Frank B Agnew Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/mesquite-independent-school-district/frank-b-agnew-middle-school/11766"}
