This was beyond kind of you. Dear [Donor's Name],\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting my DonorsChoose project, Graphic Novels to Increase Student Interest in Reading. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on my students and their relationship with reading.\r\n\r\nStudents are currently independently reading the graphic novels they have chosen to make it more fun. I know students who struggled to stay engaged with traditional texts will dive into these novels. One student even told me, \"I actually want to read this one at home.\"\r\n\r\nYour gift has not only provided books, but it will hopefully spark a shift in how my students view reading. Graphic novels have created a bridge—helping reluctant readers build confidence while allowing strong readers to explore new genres. Most importantly, students are experiencing what we believe at the heart of this project: reading should be fun.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you again for making this possible. Your support has transformed our classroom library into a place of discovery, joy, and lifelong learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746501059580,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-novels-to-increase-student-inter/9319873/","projectTitle":"Graphic Novels to Increase Student Interest in Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vanderveen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10014136"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25509","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2847,"numTeachers":175,"percentFrplEligible":5,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.0,"schoolId":25509,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carl Sandburg High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carl Sandburg High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/consolidated-high-school-district-230/carl-sandburg-high-school/25509"}
