Even some of my most reluctant readers are eagerly turning pages, laughing at Greg Heffley's adventures, and asking if we can read \"just a little more\" before moving on with our day. I've noticed students who normally avoid reading time leaning in, participating in discussions, and even quoting funny lines to their classmates. The shared experience of reading the same book has also created a stronger sense of community in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746733258530,"projectUrl":"project/wimpy-to-bookworms-inspiring-readers-wi/9169445/","projectTitle":"Wimpy to Bookworms: Inspiring readers with Diary of Wimpy Kid","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Steffen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1415564_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550946663570","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1415564"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28842","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":270,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":28842,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Olympia North Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Olympia North Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/olympia-community-unit-school-district-16/olympia-north-elementary-school/28842"}
