This was our second project this school year and I am so amazed at how generous all of our incredible donors have been. I have been doing my absolute best to re-build our library with the newest and most interesting books for my students. \r\nI have gotten rid of so many old and extremely outdated books from our collection, but with no funds available, I felt very discouraged in knowing there would not be many options to get new titles to replace what is gone. With Donors Choose being so successful this proved me wrong and I am so grateful for that! \r\n\r\nMy students have loved all the new books and opportunities to discover new series'. The kids that have never liked reading, didn't want to check out, or were intimidated by choosing a book, have really done a 180 and are so much more excited to read now. A lot of them have been asking me if we have the next book in a series they are reading, or if we have any books on a new found interest. This is all thanks to you and I could not do it alone.
