Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in the lives of many children, and I'm excited to share the impact with you.\r\n\r\nFirst, the personalized listening devices have transformed the way my students engage with reading. By providing individualized listening support, these devices have helped students focus, comprehend, and stay motivated. As a result, we have seen a tangible increase in their Accelerated Reader scores. When students can listen to the text while following along, vocabulary confidence grows, fluency improves, and the overall reading experience becomes more accessible for every learner. The improvement in scores reflects not only better comprehension but a renewed enthusiasm for reading.\r\n\r\nSecond, the books that were selected have struck a chord with our students. They find the stories incredibly interesting and engaging, which has sparked a genuine excitement about reading. The children are enthusiastically diving into these titles, asking thoughtful questions, and exploring deeper themes. It's heartwarming to see them so invested in their books, turning pages with anticipation and joy.\r\n\r\nAn added bonus is that all of these books are part of the Accelerated Reader program. This alignment means students can test on these same texts, reinforcing independent learning and providing instant feedback on their progress. The combination of accessible listening devices and compelling, program-aligned books has created a powerful learning environment where students can set and achieve literacy goals.\r\n\r\nPlease accept my sincere thanks for your belief in our students and for investing in tools and resources that unlock their potential. Your support is shaping confident readers who are more prepared for future academic success. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1768667090708,"projectUrl":"project/fighting-chance/10024434/","projectTitle":"Fighting Chance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. S.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp753799_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768660722454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/753799"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18569","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":255,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":18569,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Bolivar Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Bolivar Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/west-bolivar-consolidated-school-district/west-bolivar-elementary-school/18569"}
