I have so many students who come to my classroom library to check out books, and they constantly comment on how I have the best book selection. Hearing that—especially from struggling readers—truly warms my heart. Watching students who don't always feel confident about reading light up when they find a book they're genuinely excited about is one of the best parts of my job. Your support is helping spark curiosity, build confidence, and grow a love of reading in students who need it most, and I am so grateful for the impact you're making every single day. \r\n\r\n💛📚","fullyFundedDate":1752678935531,"projectUrl":"project/pages-for-progress-transform-our-classr/9440690/","projectTitle":"Pages for Progress: Transform Our Classroom Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brianna Lucas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8503952_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750901060798","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8503952"},{"teacherId":8503952,"projectId":9605380,"letterContent":"Thank you so much to our generous donors for helping fund classroom supplies and resources for our students.

Like the butterflies showed us, out of struggle come's learning and growth. \r\n\r\nMeeting Diverse Needs: The project was especially beneficial for students with special needs because it utilized multiple learning styles (\"modalities\")—some learn through reading, some through seeing and some through doing.
