Our students were so excited to receive them, as they had been asking for new books for quite some time.\r\n\r\nAs many may know, funding for after-school programs is limited, and your support has allowed us to enrich our program in multiple ways. Since receiving the books, I have seen students eagerly select them, show increased interest in reading, and spend more time engaged with the materials. This has greatly supported their reading comprehension, vocabulary expansion, and overall love of reading.\r\n\r\nThe new books have also been a helpful resource for homework, giving students quality options when they need to complete reading assignments. We are thrilled with the impact the books have had on our students and the program, helping us continue to engage and inspire them in the after-school environment.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity.
