She was very helpful in suggesting these books. \r\nOne of our rules is that every student has a library book to read in each class after they are finished with assignments. These books will help them to expand their learning and learning facts about real people that they may not know. \r\nThank you so much again for the donations and contributing to our school library!","fullyFundedDate":1743075369905,"projectUrl":"project/welcome-fifth-graders-to-the-junior-high/9181959/","projectTitle":"Welcome Fifth Graders To The Junior High School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Douglas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9174783"},{"teacherId":9346120,"projectId":8736828,"letterContent":"Bushnell-Prairie City Junior High students have greatly enjoyed their rewards and materials to increase their participation and engagement in PBIS activities.
