As a Title I school, many of our children do not always have access to high-quality, engaging books at home. These new additions have transformed our library into a place of excitement, curiosity, and possibility.\r\n\r\nFor many students, opening these books meant opening a door to worlds they had never seen before—worlds filled with characters who look like them, dreams they can imagine themselves chasing, and stories that spark their creativity. Students who were once hesitant readers now rush into the library eager to choose their next book. Teachers have seen a noticeable increase in reading motivation, confidence, and comprehension. Even students who struggle academically are experiencing more success because they finally have materials that meet their interests and reading levels.\r\n\r\nThe new books have also helped build a stronger sense of community. Students share stories with each other, recommend books to friends, and engage in conversations that strengthen relationships and deepen their love for learning. The library has become a warm, welcoming space where every student feels represented, valued, and inspired.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created opportunities that our students may not have had otherwise. You have helped cultivate a love of reading, supported academic growth, and shown our students that their education matters. Thank you for making a lasting impact on our school, our library, and most importantly, our students.","fullyFundedDate":1740781285668,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-our-middle-schools-library/9129931/","projectTitle":"Books for Our Middle School's Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6001846_orig.jpg?crop=100,100,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729452517243","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6001846"},{"teacherId":6001846,"projectId":8891775,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project to help me achieve National Board Certification.
