The moment the books arrived, our room was filled with excitement as students eagerly flipped through pages, discovered new characters, and shared stories with their classmates. Watching their eyes light up as they dove into new adventures and information was truly inspiring. These books have already sparked curiosity, encouraged thoughtful conversations, and created a renewed energy for reading.\r\n\r\nReading is such a foundational skill, especially for students at this age, and your thoughtful donation is helping us build strong, confident readers. The variety and quality of the books you provided allow each student to find something that speaks to their interests and reading level, making a real difference in their learning journey.
