Every book added and every craft supply purchased enriches our students' educational experience and nurtures their love for knowledge and creativity.\r\n\r\nWe just had our first round of book check outs for the school year and the students were so excited to peruse the carts of new books! Many got checked out right away, with others saved for next time. As our students have returned to school, they've enjoyed creating collages with the craft supplies as a way to reconnect after being away from each other this summer.","fullyFundedDate":1746455436565,"projectUrl":"project/read-a-new-book-and-make-a-new-craft/9235699/","projectTitle":"Read a new book and make a new craft!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Armistead","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9741314"},{"teacherId":9741314,"projectId":8763416,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well. I extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of materials to our school library. Your support has significantly enriched our educational environment, providing both teachers and students with invaluable resources.\r\n\r\nThe infusion of new materials has transformed our library into a vibrant hub of learning and creativity. The very day some of the materials arrived, students came to the library asking for poster board for a project they had in class. Thanks to your donations, we were able to say, \"Yes! We have that!\" and give them a selection to choose from to complete their assignment. Teachers have come looking for cardstock and we've had a giant stack for them to choose from and their faces have just lit up!\r\n\r\nResearch consistently shows that well-resourced school libraries contribute to improved student achievement. Studies across multiple states have demonstrated that students with access to quality library programs score higher on reading assessments, regardless of socio-economic status. Your contribution directly supports this positive impact, empowering our students to succeed academically and develop critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the library has become a sanctuary for students seeking a quiet place to study, collaborate on projects, or simply immerse themselves in a good book. It serves as a communal space where curiosity is encouraged, and learning transcends the classroom.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and commitment to education. Your support has made a lasting difference in the lives of our students and teachers. We look forward to sharing more stories of success and growth made possible by your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1733233975258,"projectUrl":"project/yes-the-library-has-what-you-need/8763416/","projectTitle":"Yes!
