Your generosity has made a lasting impact, not only by placing a powerful story into the hands of each student, but by transforming our reading experience in something unforgettable. \r\n\r\nBefore your donation, our class had no access to this modern classic. Now, each student has a personal copy, allowing us to dive deeper into the text, engage in meaningful discussions, and build literacy skills in a way that simply wasn't possible before. The difference this has made in our learning environment has been nothing short of remarkable. \r\n\r\nThe Hunger Games is more than just an exciting novel. It's a gateway to critical thinking, empathy, and conversations about power, justice, and survival. As we read together, students explored themes like inequality, sacrifice, media influence, and the resilience of the human spirit. These conversations were enriched because each student could independently follow along, annotate, and reflect on the text in real time. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of books and in the potential of our students. Your kindness has created an opportunity that will echo in their academic and personal lives for years to come. Your impact is real, meaningful, and deeply appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1744290622952,"projectUrl":"project/may-the-odds-be-in-my-favor/9198245/","projectTitle":"May the Odds be in my Favor","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wagner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9973387_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745250583697","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9973387"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96409","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1457,"numTeachers":80,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.1,"schoolId":96409,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/jefferson-county-school-district/washington-high-school/96409"}
