The new health literacy books and comfortable seating have transformed our classroom into a place where curiosity, conversation, and confidence grow every day.\r\n\r\nStudents now gather in the Health Literacy Center to read, research, and reflect on ways to improve their own well-being. One student recently shared, \"I like learning here because I can pick what I want to read about and it helps me figure out how to feel better.\" Comments like that remind me why this project matters so much.\r\n\r\nSince setting up the center, I've noticed students are more eager to talk about healthy choices and connect what we learn in class to their real lives. They feel empowered to ask questions, share personal insights, and support one another's goals — exactly the kind of lifelong learning we hope for in health education.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made all of this possible. Thank you for giving my students a space that inspires them to take ownership of their health and to believe that taking care of themselves is both important and achievable.","fullyFundedDate":1760711308700,"projectUrl":"project/health-literacy-center/9828332/","projectTitle":"Health Literacy Center","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Curley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7999189_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742238382387","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/curleyhealth"},{"teacherId":10311982,"projectId":9828607,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in supporting my literacy project.
