Your generosity means more than you know. Because of you, our 3rd grade classroom is becoming a more organized, calm, and productive place for students to learn. The materials you helped fund have already made a powerful impact—students can find what they need quickly, stay focused during independent work, and take pride in keeping our classroom running smoothly. For me as a teacher, your support also strengthens my professional growth. With better organizational tools and systems, I can plan more effectively, manage our space with confidence, and create a learning environment where every child feels supported and ready to succeed. Your kindness is helping shape a classroom full of joy, independence, and opportunity.

Your gift—providing us with a rug, a printer, a bookshelf, and a collection of books—has completely transformed our learning environment and has left an incredible mark on both my students and myself.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the rug has created a warm and inviting space where students feel comfortable gathering for lessons, read-alouds, and group discussions. It has quickly become the heart of our classroom—a place where students are eager to sit together and share in the joy of learning. Something as simple as a rug has made a profound difference in building community and creating a safe and nurturing environment where every child feels included.\r\n\r\nThe bookshelf has had a big impact. Watching my students browse through the books with excitement has been a joy. They take ownership in selecting titles, treating the bookshelf as a treasure chest filled with possibilities. Even though the collection of books is still growing, my students see it as their own special library. Some are working tirelessly to max out their AR (Accelerated Reader) points, while others are just beginning to discover the thrill of reading independently. Having these books within arm's reach motivates them daily, and it has sparked conversations about characters, stories, and goals that I never could have imagined before the donation.\r\n\r\nThe printer has also been an invaluable resource for both my teaching and my students. It allows me to provide personalized materials, from reading passages to student projects, and gives the children the chance to see their work come alive on the page. Having this tool readily available saves time, reduces stress, and helps me provide the differentiated support that each of my students needs. It is a practical resource that empowers both my instruction and my students' success.\r\n\r\nOn a personal level, your generosity has touched me more deeply than I can put into words. Returning to my classroom after maternity leave with my newborn baby was a moment filled with both excitement and challenge. Walking into a classroom equipped with these new resources gave me not only practical tools, but also encouragement and renewed inspiration as a teacher. It reminded me that I am supported—not just by my school community, but by kind and generous people like you who believe in education and in the success of every child.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students are more engaged, more motivated, and more excited about learning than ever before. They gather on the rug, they search the bookshelf, they proudly print and display their work, and they share books with one another. Each of these small but powerful changes has fostered a stronger sense of community, sparked curiosity, and encouraged perseverance in both eager and reluctant readers alike.\r\n\r\nYour support has made our classroom a place where children feel valued, inspired, and capable. You have shown them, through your kindness, that their education matters and that people are willing to invest in their future. For that, I will be forever grateful.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students, for supporting me as their teacher, and for making such a lasting difference in our lives.","fullyFundedDate":1745952924697,"projectUrl":"project/library-for-reading-leaders/9027977/","projectTitle":"Library for Reading Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tolbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9597754_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764734472877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9597754"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47799","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":294,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":90,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":47799,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about L.H.
