Your gift made it possible for every student to have their own copy, which truly transformed our reading experience. We read the book together during story time, and the students were deeply engaged—not only by the powerful story itself but by the opportunity to follow along, annotate, and reflect on what they were learning in real time.\r\n\r\nThis shared reading experience sparked meaningful conversations about resilience, empathy, and global awareness. It helped students connect to the characters and themes in a personal way, and many of them continued to talk about the book long after we finished reading it. Your support has not only fostered a love of reading, but it has also expanded their understanding of the world beyond the classroom walls.\r\n\r\nWe sincerely appreciate your kindness and investment in our students' learning. Thanks to you, they now see reading not just as an academic task, but as a powerful, shared journey. We're so grateful for your support and the lasting impact it will have on their education.","fullyFundedDate":1418870301330,"projectUrl":"project/long-walk-to-learning/1353314/","projectTitle":"Long Walk To Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hammond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1927238"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56296","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":308,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":67,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.6,"schoolId":56296,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Center of the Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Center of the Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/milwaukee-public-schools/lincoln-center-of-the-arts/56296"}
