As soon as I revealed the box set, my students erupted in cheers, eager to explore the stories within. Many of my students are already passionate about anime and manga, but until now, they had limited access to books in this genre. For others, this was their first real introduction to anime-inspired storytelling, and the enthusiasm was just as strong. Within minutes, students were flipping through the pages, discussing characters and plots, and even making connections to other books and media they love.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself and all of my students, thank you for believing in the power of books and for making this incredible experience possible.","fullyFundedDate":1733771817120,"projectUrl":"project/one-piece-box-set-of-great-books/8990560/","projectTitle":"One Piece Box Set of Great Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sockwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6496814"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43152","usesÐǿմ«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":447,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":77,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.5,"schoolId":43152,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about University High School on @Ðǿմ«Ã½:","schoolName":"University High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/newark-public-schools/university-high-school/43152"}
