The kids are always excited to get the latest issue, and they love reading about real-world topics, current events, and science in a format that's fun and accessible. These magazines are helping to build not only literacy skills but also a genuine love of reading. Your support has created a richer, more dynamic classroom experience, and we are truly grateful for your investment in our students' growth and excitement for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1727473308605,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-math-success-math-readin/8431169/","projectTitle":"Literacy + Math = Success!
