Many have mentioned how these snacks give them the boost they need to stay engaged, especially during longer learning periods.\r\nThe cushioned seats for independent reading have created a cozy, inviting space where students feel comfortable diving into their books. Their enthusiasm has been remarkable — we've seen an increase in the time they spend reading, and they're eager to settle into these new spaces!\r\n\r\nWe are equally grateful for the improvements to our literacy library. Teachers now have easy access to high-quality materials that allow them to tailor lessons and build their students' knowledge. This streamlined process empowers them to enrich classroom instruction and provide resources that foster a love of learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only enhanced our learning environment but has also inspired a sense of excitement and curiosity in our students.
