This project took my library from 20 books to almost 100 books for students to read. The reading chairs are such an added bonus too!! Every day I have a student ask to go to the library and read. They love sitting in the comfy chairs to read their books. \r\n\r\nI work in a high poverty school and being able to offer students a safe comfy place to sit and disappear into a good book makes my heart so happy. As a donor, I hope you realize the difference you are making in classrooms. You are not only helping a teacher not spend her own money, but you are also helping us make our classrooms better! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation to my classroom and helping my students soar into reading!","fullyFundedDate":1746453146206,"projectUrl":"project/soar-into-reading/9147332/","projectTitle":"Soar into Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Emily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5936618_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1538425154089","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5936618"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77466","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":269,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":77466,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Portageville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Portageville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/portageville-school-district/portageville-elementary-school/77466"}
