Each issue has become a spark for curiosity, thoughtful discussion, and joyful reading in our classroom.\r\n\r\nStudents who once struggled to find \"just right\" books are now eagerly raising their hands to read plays, debate topics, or share their thoughts about an article. The variety of genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama—has ensured that every learner finds something that speaks to them. For my reluctant readers, the engaging stories and visuals have been a game-changer. For my advanced readers, the challenging articles have stretched their thinking and inspired deeper questions.\r\n\r\nBeyond building reading skills, Storyworks has encouraged collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. I've watched students connect what they've read to real-world issues, write with greater confidence, and most importantly—develop a genuine excitement for reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made this possible. You didn't just fund a magazine—you invested in a group of young readers who now see themselves as capable, curious learners. We are so grateful for your belief in our classroom and the future of these students.","fullyFundedDate":1753069126034,"projectUrl":"project/storyworks-fueling-a-love-of-reading-in/9474276/","projectTitle":"Storyworks: Fueling A Love Of Reading In Our Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10082786"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67832","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":334,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"22.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":67832,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dieck Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dieck Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/swartz-creek-community-school-district/dieck-elementary-school/67832"}
