With access to this modern and emotionally layered novel, students were able to connect with characters and experiences that felt relevant to the world they are growing up in. The story opened the door for thoughtful discussions about identity, family expectations, cultural pressures, and belonging—topics that encouraged students to think critically while also reflecting on their own lives. Having classroom sets ensured that every student could fully participate, creating a shared reading experience that strengthened both comprehension and community.\r\n\r\nProviding contemporary and diverse stories plays a powerful role in student engagement. When students see themselves represented in literature—or gain insight into perspectives different from their own—they are more likely to invest in the reading process. Everything I Never Told You sparked deeper conversations, increased participation, and helped students recognize the value of empathy in understanding others. This kind of engagement supports not only academic growth but also social and emotional development.\r\n\r\nReading remains an essential skill in today's social media driven world that has trained us to seek only short bursts of information. It builds critical thinking, strengthens communication, and fosters imagination—tools students will rely on far beyond the classroom. Thanks to your donations, students had the opportunity to experience a novel that challenged them, inspired curiosity, and reminded them that stories still matter. Your generosity helped to empower students with the knowledge and perspective that literature can provide.","fullyFundedDate":1762193544967,"projectUrl":"project/everything-i-never-told-you-american-lit/9484937/","projectTitle":"Everything I Never Told You American Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lazzuri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10046873"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35928","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1799,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":29,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":35928,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oliver M Hazen High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oliver M Hazen High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/renton-school-district-403/oliver-m-hazen-high-school/35928"}
