Your support enabled us to replenish our reading rewards prize cart as well as offer our students a safe, comfortable space to read and relax. \r\n\r\nStudents have been logging more and more reading minutes for chances to win prizes that they can choose from our reading rewards cart. The coloring books, markers, book lights, and squishy fidgets are some of our most popular reading rewards that not only motivate students to read more but also promote mental wellness through calming, screen-free activities that help regulate emotions. \r\n\r\nIn addition, students use the large bean bag and floor cushions regularly. They're a huge hit as they're always looking for cozy seating in a welcoming environment, often in need of a change from their stiff classroom desks/chairs. Having the flexible, soft seating available truly encourages students to spend time in the library and enjoy being in a place that allows them to take a breath from the chaos of day-to-day life.","fullyFundedDate":1787175520484,"projectUrl":"project/read-and-relax-rewards-refresh/10209786/","projectTitle":"Read and Relax Rewards Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8134767_orig.jpg?crop=872,872,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739294545132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8134767"},{"teacherId":8134767,"projectId":10149340,"letterContent":"Our students have greatly benefited from the 22 books we received thanks to your generous donations!
