This year our school librarian position was reduced (budget cuts) which made our classroom library even more important to our readers. With your support, we were able to get more books that students want into our classroom library and into their hands! \r\n\r\nOur students deserve to have access to a wide variety of texts in order to grow their reading skills and develop their reading identities.

That's what we're seeing. Even better, I have exciting new titles and crisp new books to hand hesitant students. One girl was head-down until I described \"Scythe\" to her. Now she's halfway done. Girls had been bugging me all year to get more copies of \"Shatter Me\" and restock the full series. They're tearing through them.\r\n\r\nTruly, there's no replacement for the right book to get a teenager hooked on something other than their phone.

The kids are LOVING creating characters that have hearing devices similar to their own and they are LOVING looking at the characters created by other students with hearing losses. \r\n\r\nThe variety of devices and products that we are able to access due to your donations has been so meaningful. It has been a joy watching the kids' eyes light up when they see a visual representation of themselves in a storybook character.
