Many of them have already found new favorite books, and it has been wonderful to see their confidence and enthusiasm for reading grow each day. Your generosity is helping me pass along my love of reading to my students, and that is a gift that will stay with them far beyond our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and investing in their learning.
