Your support has helped transform our space into a more vibrant and engaging environment. The laminator and organizational supplies have allowed myself and my aids to create decorations that inspire students to connect with books in new ways. It's been exciting to see the students creativity and their ability to work together when given the right tools.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has also made a huge difference in the day-to-day running of the library. The new barcode scanner has replaced our outdated one, making it easier to track books and serve our 1,200 students more efficiently. It seems like a small change but the kids love not having to fiddle with the broken old scanner. The new desk chair has brought much-needed comfort and support, improving my productivity and well-being, as well as that of my student aides.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation has helped foster a stronger sense of community. By providing these resources, you've made reading more accessible and fun for all students, including those who've struggled in the past. Your support sends a clear message that we believe in our students' success, and I'm deeply grateful for the lasting impact you've made on their education.","fullyFundedDate":1727373931345,"projectUrl":"project/let-our-middle-school-library-thrive-cre/8806598/","projectTitle":"Let Our Middle School Library Thrive Creating Empowered Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stromdahl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9760487_orig.jpg?crop=548,548,x51,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726796687056","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9760487"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13235","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1167,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":13235,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Herman Furlough Junior Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Herman Furlough Junior Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/terrell-independent-school-district/herman-furlough-junior-middle-school/13235"}
