You are amazing!! We are all so grateful for your huge generosity and kindness!\r\n\r\nI wish I had thought to snap a picture of our students the moment they laid eyes on the books you bought for them! Their smiles were so heartwarming and precious! I told each of them what you did for them and for all of us. They were so thankful! Every single one was very happy to take a picture with their books to thank you! 🙂 It was really sweet!\r\n\r\nThe comments they made were so sweet too! Here are some of them.\r\n\r\n\"You got ALL of them?!?!?\" (She said it with the hugest smile! It was a series she wanted.)\r\n\r\nAnother student about different books you gave us: gasp \"This is the one that has pictures too!\" (She was so very happy about that! It was a series with a lot of text, and the illustrations were really cool!)\r\n\r\nAnother student was so excited about the I Survived book you purchased because he had read 24 out of the 25 in the series, and the one you purchased was the one he hadn't yet read! (Our previous library copy was lost!) He was thrilled to get the book you provided! \"Happy\" doesn't even describe how elated he was!\r\n\r\nIt was fun to see the students who want to learn Portuguese pore over the language books you gave us. What an amazing learning tool you provided!\r\n\r\nThe students who requested the books checked them out immediately too! Because you funded this for them so quickly, they were able to have the books they wanted in their hands within a couple weeks of requesting them! It was amazing!\r\n\r\nSome of them have already read and returned the quicker reads, and they are rapidly being checked out by other students now! Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, Suitor Armor, Chi's Sweet Adventures, CatStronauts, and the TBH books are really circulating quickly! The students are very excited about them and love getting to read them!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this reading experience possible for our students! It's such a gift for them to be able to read the books they want! Their happiness and excitement are so tremendous, and it is all because of you!\r\n\r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1790801622552,"projectUrl":"project/requests-by-students-for-the-library-sh/10697627/","projectTitle":"Requests by Students, for the Library Shelves!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blosser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8846663_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x40,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668884394443","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8846663"},{"teacherId":8846663,"projectId":10354110,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for our wonderful new encyclopedia set! We are truly blown away by your incredible generosity! We know this was a very pricey purchase, and your huge gift to our school is VERY deeply appreciated! When I saw that you had funded it, after I picked my jaw up off of the floor and squealed with glee, I immediately emailed our science teacher - who had made the original request - to let him know, and he responded, \"Wow that's great!\" He also shared he had been watching it over the summer to see if it would be. We were both shocked that you purchased this for us! What an immense act of care! Thank you so, so much!\r\n\r\nOur students are already enjoying your encyclopedias. Several have asked me if they can check them out and take them home. 🙂 (We keep reference books in the library so everyone can have access on any given day, but it was so cute that they actually wanted to take them home!) Another student very excitedly was looking up the water cycle. Yet another told me, \"I like that this has so much information!\" Another was super excited to show me that she found \"library\" in the encyclopedia. Our principal, too, is grateful for what you have done for us, and he responded that this is \"awesome news!\" I shared your generous gift with all our staff at the beginning of the year, and they were so grateful and responded with great joy. 🙂\r\n\r\nYou have made our entire school - students and staff - so happy by your gift of the 2026 encyclopedias! Some of them were in here the other day, comparing the 1989 encyclopedias to your new set. 🙂 It was fun to hear the differences they were finding! Thank you for making current data and information in print form possible for our students! We have had several teachers request resource materials in print form so that students can use something other than the internet for research. So cool! Thank you for making this possible for us! You are truly incredible, and we are so very grateful for you and for your amazing generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1788369411309,"projectUrl":"project/current-encyclopedias-for-research-acces/10354110/","projectTitle":"Current Encyclopedias for Research Access for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blosser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8846663_orig.jpg?crop=2208,2208,x40,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668884394443","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8846663"},{"teacherId":8846663,"projectId":9755714,"letterContent":"Oh my goodness, dear DonorsChoose donors!

You are amazing, and we are so grateful!\r\n\r\nThe pictures show our students' first looks at the books you gave us. They absolutely loved them! When they first saw the books, three different students told me that they loved how it helped them read because the words were bigger! This direct quote from a student was awesome: \"Ooooh! It's nice! It makes it easier to read!\" One student said it made her brain feel better. All of this happened because of YOU! \r\n\r\nYesterday, a student was looking for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We had a \"traditional font\" copy as well as your large print version. She picked the large print version you donated. It is so much easier to read, and it's a beautiful book!\r\n\r\nOne of our special education teachers had initially asked me about large print books. She (along with the rest of us) is thrilled that it will also increase reading accessibility for our students who have vision challenges.
