With your support, we were able to add over 100 new titles to our shelves, opening up countless new worlds for our young readers to explore. Seeing their faces light up as put the first crease on a new front cover has been nothing short of magical.\r\n\r\nFor many of these children, reading is a doorway to adventure, empathy, and lifelong learning, but having access to diverse, engaging books is what truly keeps that spark alive. Your donations have given them the freedom to choose stories that captivate their imaginations and challenge their thinking. Every day during reading time, the classroom fills with quiet focus and genuine excitement, as students dive headfirst into tales they can't wait to discuss.\r\n\r\nWithout your kindness and belief in our students, this beautiful milestone simply would not have been possible. You haven't just supplied our classroom with physical books; you have invested in these children's confidence, curiosity, and future success. Thank you for making such a direct, meaningful impact on our school community and for nourishing a love of reading that will stay with these kids for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1776906443152,"projectUrl":"project/mr-as-5th-grade-classroom/10194090/","projectTitle":"Mr. A.'s 5th Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10479410"},{"teacherId":1032884,"projectId":9365226,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, my kindergarten classroom now has a beautiful new classroom rug, and it has already made a remarkable difference in how my students learn and interact.

The excitement was contagious and set the tone for a fresh, energized start to our day.\r\n\r\nThe rug has become the heart of our classroom. Students have a clearly defined place to sit, which supports focus and attention during lessons. It also fosters a sense of community that my previous class did not have. Students are able to see and hear one another while working together, which encourages collaboration, communication, and active participation.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, the rug will continue to support our classroom learning as students engage in group activities, discussions, and collaborative projects. Your generosity has created not just a space, but a foundation for building confidence, focus, and community in my classroom, and I am so grateful for the impact it has already made on my students.","fullyFundedDate":1753967034346,"projectUrl":"project/a-rug-for-all-creating-an-inclusive-kin/9365226/","projectTitle":"A Rug for All: Creating an Inclusive Kindergarten Gathering Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kerrigan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1032884"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74768","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":540,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":72.8,"schoolId":74768,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hubert Olson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hubert Olson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/bloomington-public-school-district-271/hubert-olson-elementary-school/74768"}
