As student budgets continue to decrease, there is less money for books. But, books are not made to be opened dozens of times for years. We do the best we can to protect the books, rebine them, and have students replace copies they lose.... But after ten years, they need to be replaced.","fullyFundedDate":1761957645521,"projectUrl":"project/fahrenheit-451-physical-copies-for-eng/9651832/","projectTitle":"Fahrenheit 451 (Physical Copies) for English 12 Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schueller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5479449_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1590674616386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5479449"},{"teacherId":9989725,"projectId":9222954,"letterContent":"Decision Day 2025 has come and gone at Hastings High School, but your support was vital in helping us in the Counseling Department make the day truly meaningful and leave a lasting impression on the class of 2025.\r\n\r\nYour gifts helped us purchase a number of prizes, a flat screen TV, a microwave, backpacks filled with school supplies, a laundry kit, and a car kit that were given away as part of the ceremony celebrating Seniors' decisions, and the prizes added to an already festive event!
