In a small, rural school, having a variety of current, engaging books available makes a huge difference. These books have helped us give students more choice and, most importantly, more opportunities to see reading as something they can enjoy rather than simply something they have to do for school.\r\n\r\nReading looks different depending on the age of the students who visit our library. Our younger students are building foundational skills like fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and making connections between a story and their own lives. As students get older, books become a way to practice deeper skills such as analyzing characters, identifying themes, making inferences, supporting ideas with evidence, and discussing different perspectives. Just as important, independent reading helps students build the stamina and confidence they need to become stronger readers and writers.\r\n\r\nOne of the best parts of receiving these books has been watching students discover books that feel like they were chosen with them in mind. Students have been excited to browse the new titles, recommend books to one another, and find new series, topics, and genres they want to explore. Some of our students who do not typically consider themselves readers are much more willing to pick up a book when they have choices that match their interests.\r\n\r\nBecause these books serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade, their impact will extend far beyond one class or one school year. They are helping us continue to build a library where every student has the opportunity to walk in, find something that interests them, and leave with a book in their hands. Thank you for helping us create that kind of space for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1778031000304,"projectUrl":"project/reflecting-every-reader-advancing-diver/10099360/","projectTitle":"Reflecting Every Reader: Advancing Diversity in Our School Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Olsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9692825_orig.jpg?crop=1326,1326,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724445610188","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9692825"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78768","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":99,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":78768,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harlowton Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harlowton Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/harlowton-school-district-16/harlowton-junior-senior-high-school/78768"}
