Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to receive engaging incentives like erasers and reading accessories that truly excite our students. When the new rewards arrived, the kids' faces lit up with enthusiasm and pride — it instantly motivated them to keep reading and logging their progress. This year during our Beanstack reading challenges, students will eagerly share their goals and celebrate each success with the incentives, creating a joyful and supportive reading community in our classroom.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are building on this momentum by launching our first Beanstack Challenge of the year. Your contribution is helping 800 K4-5th graders develop a lifelong love of reading, and the rewards act as powerful encouragement along the way.
