Students are enjoying the high-interest graphic novels that your donation helped purchase. Their favorites are \"The Baby-Sitter's Club\" and \"Kid YouTuber.\" A variety of students have come in to read including both girls and boys. The boys are drawn to the hair chalk and the girls have loved the butterfly clips and hair glitter. Their faces light up when I tell them they can keep their comb and hair accessories. \r\n\r\nYour donation has helped support literacy at our school. It has boosted confidence.
