This sense of visibility has instantly boosted student engagement and belonging.","fullyFundedDate":1754320687475,"projectUrl":"project/building-young-readers-a-diverse-librar/9235644/","projectTitle":"Building Young Readers: A Diverse Library for Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Samuelian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5793224"},{"teacherId":778585,"projectId":8983686,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for making this project a reality!
