As an equity school serving a diverse community of learners, we work every day to make sure every student feels seen, valued, and capable of achieving great things. Having the Spanish translation also available for my students who need it has been a game-changer! \r\n\r\nThis Newbery Award–winning novel has given my students a mirror to see parts of their own lives and a window into the experiences of others. They're connecting deeply with Merci's story — her family, her friendships, and her journey to understand change and resilience. Our class discussions have become richer and more thoughtful, with students sharing their own experiences and recognizing that, even with our differences, we are all connected through our hopes, challenges, and dreams.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students now have a shared reading experience that helps them build empathy, confidence, and a love of literature. Your gift provided more than books, you've given them the chance to see themselves as readers, thinkers, and storytellers.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in public education and in students like mine. Your generosity reminds them that their voices matter and that people in the world care about their growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1755713005492,"projectUrl":"project/books-that-build-bridges/9528209/","projectTitle":"Books That Build Bridges","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tomczyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4739545_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y88&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724457742380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4739545"},{"teacherId":4739545,"projectId":8698078,"letterContent":"We cannot thank you enough for your donation of our SCOPE magazines. In today's classroom, having a full-color, physical resource to dive into articles, stories, and poems is sadly a rarity. Research tells us that reading on paper helps student comprehension, and this resource provides so much content to help us do that. Not only do we have the magazines, but also access to audio readings of each text, activities for all grade level standards, and menus of creative projects to go with them. \r\n\r\nMy students are currently most enjoying doing the Readers Theater texts that are included in every issue. This allows them to practice reading fluency in a fun and dramatic way. Each time we finish one, they ask when we can do another. \r\n\r\nBeing in a computer-heavy era in education has really made students engaged in this resource because they're not used to being given a physical project that is created just for them. All articles are written for middle school students in a way that is appropriate and engaging. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1727972725874,"projectUrl":"project/scope-magazine-for-scholars/8698078/","projectTitle":"SCOPE Magazine for Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tomczyk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4739545_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x0,y88&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724457742380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4739545"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36670","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":745,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"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":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":36670,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chinook Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chinook Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/north-thurston-school-dist-3/chinook-middle-school/36670"}
