Because of your generosity, our middle school library has truly transformed into a space where students feel welcome, inspired, and excited to read.!\r\n\r\nThe impact has already been incredible!\r\n\r\nThe rolling book cart has become a favorite feature—students drop off books between classes without missing a beat, and teachers love that we can wheel books directly into classrooms to make reading accessible all day long.\r\n\r\nThe beanbag chairs have turned lunchtime into cozy reading time. Kids sink in with a book and feel right at home, and some classes even use the library as a reward space where reading is celebrated.\r\n\r\nThe cardstock and rulers have sparked creativity in book clubs. Students made thankful stamp art cards for Thanksgiving, and another group read Turkey in Disguise before creating adorable handprint turkeys.\r\n\r\nThe bookmarks are already motivating readers—students light up when they earn one as a prize for reading widely or participating in book clubs.\r\n\r\nAnd yes, the Jolly Ranchers are a hit! They're a sweet way to reward good behavior in the library and encourage reluctant readers to keep turning pages.\r\n\r\nThese resources are more than just supplies—they're tools that show our students their stories matter, their growth is celebrated, and their school community believes in them. For many of our English Language Learners and students still discovering the joy of reading, these small touches make a huge difference.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our kids and helping us create a library that's not only functional but also full of heart. You've given them a place to relax, recharge, and discover new worlds—and that gift will stay with them for years to come!

Thanks to you, our Roll the Dice Book Club has become an even more joyful and motivating space for our 38 middle school readers! The prizes you helped provide are definitely sparking excitement—students light up when they earn a punch on their bookmark and know they're one step closer to choosing a reward. For many of our English Language Learners and developing readers, these small tokens of encouragement make literacy feel less intimidating and more like a celebration. Reading is becoming not just a skill, but a source of pride, relaxation, and stress relief.\r\n\r\nThe rolling cart you funded is truly a game‑changer! It keeps every prize—stickers, fidget toys, pens, snacks, socks, and more—organized and ready to go. On book club days, instead of scrambling to set up, I can roll the cart in and instantly create a welcoming prize station. Students love seeing everything displayed neatly, and it makes the process of choosing rewards smooth and fun. Having everything in one place also means prizes will last all year without getting lost or forgotten, which helps sustain motivation week after week.\r\n\r\nYour support has transformed reading from a solitary task into a lively, social experience that nurtures both literacy and emotional well‑being. Every time a student picks a prize, they're reminded that their effort matters and that reading is worth celebrating. As one student proudly said, \"Every time I finish a book and get a prize, it feels like proof that I'm really a reader now.\" That sense of accomplishment and pride is a direct result of your generosity. You've helped create a space where kids choose books over screens, laughter over stress, and connection over isolation.

One student said, \"This is the best part of my week—I finally get to chill and read without worrying about class!\" That kind of joy and relief is exactly what your support has created!\r\n\r\nThe prizes have been a huge motivator. Every month, kids get so excited for the drawings—there are cheers when new fidget spinners, colorful pens, tattoos, and stickers are announced. One student grinned and said, \"I'm reading extra so I can win those glow‑in‑the‑dark tattoos!\" And while those small rewards keep the energy high, the real buzz is about the end‑of‑year party. The bigger prizes—graphic novels and manga like Witch Hat Atelier and Logan Likes Mary Anne!—are the talk of the club. Just knowing those books are waiting has kids fired up to keep reading all year long.\r\n\r\nIt's been amazing to see how much these little things matter. The sensory toys, cozy socks, and specialty pens make kids feel cared for, while the promise of those bigger book prizes gives them something to look forward to.
