I want to personally thank you for your contribution, which has made a significant impact on our school community.\r\n\r\nAs you know, the importance of reading and literacy in a child's development cannot be overstated. It is the foundation of their education and a gateway to exploring new ideas, cultures, and possibilities. Unfortunately, budget constraints can sometimes limit our ability to provide students with a diverse range of books that cater to their individual interests and reading levels. \r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, we have been able to expand our collection of books in ways that will benefit students for many years to come. These books will help engage and inspire our students, encouraging them to explore new worlds, foster creativity, and develop a lifelong love of reading.\r\n\r\nYour support goes beyond simply providing books. It sends a powerful message to our students that the community cares about their education and well-being. It reminds them that their learning is a shared journey, supported by individuals who believe in their potential and are committed to helping them succeed. By providing our school with these valuable resources, you've shown our students that reading is not just a school requirement, but a key to unlocking their dreams and imaginations.\r\n\r\nOnce again, I want to thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your contribution has made a lasting difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1733066111810,"projectUrl":"project/upgrade-our-school-library/8978691/","projectTitle":"Upgrade Our School Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bauer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9786650_orig.jpg?crop=1871,1872,x0,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727754842204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9786650"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76352","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":86,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":95.8,"schoolId":76352,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Linwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Linwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/forest-lake-independent-school-district-831/linwood-elementary-school/76352"}
