This is my 30th year teaching at Westby School, and it is always nice to know that there are still people who support education, especially reading instruction. \r\n\r\nThese prizes support our AR program where if you earn a 100% on the quiz, you earn a small prize, which you helped to purchase. This is a small thing, but is such a big deal especially for the younger students. I serve as the librarian for our K-12 school along with teaching 6th and 7th grade Language Arts and HS history classes. I know first hand what a big impact this project can have for all students in our school.\r\n\r\nOnce again, your donation is very much helping our very small, rural MT school.

It is always more fun when you have a choice of colors for your project.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest lessons my students have learned is how technology breaks things into chunks instead of looking at a project as a whole.
