The moment they laid eyes on these colorful additions; their excitement was contagious. Many of them immediately rushed to select their favorite spot. This change has significantly enhanced their ability to choose a comfortable and inviting place to read independently, fostering a more engaging and enjoyable atmosphere in our school library.\r\n\r\nThe school library had been in dire need of updates, and these small yet impactful additions, like the seat spots and organizer, have transformed the space. They've made the library feel more welcoming, encouraging students to visit more frequently. As a direct result, I've noticed a marked increase in their enthusiasm for reading. They are not only checking out more books but also sharing their reading experiences with one another.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are using the new resources to help develop a love for reading. The soft seat spots have become a cozy nook for collaborative work, where students can gather to discuss their books and encourage one another. Thanks to the generous contributions from our donors, we have created an environment that not only supports individual reading but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration among students.","fullyFundedDate":1739327194885,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-up-and-read/8939843/","projectTitle":"Cozy Up and Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1452638_orig.jpg?crop=486,486,x499,y652&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714495476581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lbtmills"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94458","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":350,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.5,"schoolId":94458,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Odenville Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Odenville Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/st-clair-county-school-district/odenville-intermediate-school/94458"}
