Since the start of the year, your donation helped update and substantially increase the size of our classroom library. As you know, sometimes the most important way to jumpstart a student's learning is by getting them a book they like. With your donation, we were able to do that. Students have not only found a new book they loved, but also a way to practice essential skills. Now students look forward to our reading time, because they always know they will have something interesting to read. Students even bring their new books to afterschool. Some even bring them to Recess because they love their books so much!\r\n\r\nOnce again - thank you for your support. With your help, we are able to continue spreading the love of reading to our young students.","fullyFundedDate":1757276175493,"projectUrl":"project/3rd-grade-classroom-library-update/9613771/","projectTitle":"3rd Grade Classroom Library Update","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jeremy Snow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10183441_orig.jpg?crop=1551,1551,x202,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755389075618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10183441"},{"teacherId":9846190,"projectId":8963506,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donation of headphones and math games to our 1st grade classroom.

With your donations we were able to brighten some students days with soccer balls, pickleball equipment, badminton rackets and birdies, and volleyballs.
