My students are actively using the collage poster, coloring book, markers, origami paper and games every day. The squishy toys, pencil toppers and stickers have made great prizes and Fun Friday giveaways. The abundance of bookmarks means I can change out their availability every few weeks. The coffin shaped ones were a big hit during October and are already gone! \r\n\r\nThe paper cutter is also a big hit! There is not one in our building near the library, so having one now has been wonderful. The sticker paper has not been used yet, but we are coming up with ideas of what to print on them. I'm excited to see how that project turns out for our students. \r\n\r\nThe collage poster is allowing a fun interactive experience for everyone. For each book that a student checks out, they get to add one square sticker to the poster. I am waiting to see how long it will take before people start guessing what the image is. I did not tell them, I'm making them wait and see. The poster is visible to the hallway, so anyone walking by can also see it. I'm excited about it! Thank you again for helping make the library an inviting space where everyone belongs.","fullyFundedDate":1756944778698,"projectUrl":"project/enhance-their-library-experience/9580077/","projectTitle":"Enhance Their Library Experience!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Snook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8144011_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y138&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635176538240","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8144011"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68655","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":988,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":68655,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Waverly High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Waverly High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/waverly-community-school-district/waverly-high-school/68655"}
