Thanks to your support in funding the project for free lanyards, we've seen a wonderful shift that goes far beyond just holding an ID card—it's actually helping us boost student literacy.\r\n\r\nThe Impact: Free Lanyards, More Reading\r\nLanyards, as simple as they are, are essential for our students to carry their ID cards, which they need to check out books and use the computers. Previously, losing a lanyard often meant a fee, which could be a hardship for some families and would sometimes discourage students from coming to the library if they knew they'd have to pay.\r\n\r\nNow, because of your donation, we are able to use these new, high-quality lanyards as a powerful tool for encouraging reading. Instead of charging for lost ones, we are giving them out as rewards and incentives.\r\n\r\nHere's how it's working:\r\n\r\nReading Rewards: Students are now earning a new lanyard by meeting reading goals, participating in library challenges, or demonstrating great effort during our literacy activities.\r\n\r\nAbolishing the \"Lanyard Tax\": By eliminating the cost barrier, we've removed a source of anxiety and a reason for students to avoid the library. They can focus on what matters most: reading.\r\n\r\nThank you, again, for partnering with us to create a positive, engaging, and barrier-free environment for our students' literacy growth. Your commitment to our students is truly making a difference every single day.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,","fullyFundedDate":1746787032829,"projectUrl":"project/lanyards-for-library-rewards-encouragin/9305676/","projectTitle":"Lanyards for Library Rewards: Encouraging Responsibility Daily","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fisher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9895215"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95821","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":23,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.3,"schoolId":95821,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nolan Ryan Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nolan Ryan Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/alvin-independent-school-district/nolan-ryan-junior-high-school/95821"}
