Your generosity has made an immeasurable impact on the lives of my students, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and commitment to education.\r\n\r\nAs an intervention specialist, I work with students who often find traditional texts challenging. Your donation has allowed us to purchase a diverse collection of graphic novels, opening up a whole new world of reading for these eager learners. The combination of compelling visuals and rich narratives in these books is already making reading more accessible and enjoyable for our reluctant readers.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on my students' faces when they see the new books is truly heartwarming. Many of these children lack access to engaging books at home, so having this resource at school is particularly meaningful. It's not just about having books; it's about having the right books that can ignite a passion for reading and boost their literacy skills.\r\n\r\nYour support has enabled us to create an unofficial \"book club\" of sorts. We read these graphic novels together and discuss them on our way to the intervention group daily. This practice is not only building a love for reading but is also helping students become more proficient readers. They're being exposed to a variety of genres - fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and biographies - broadening their horizons and sparking their imaginations.\r\n\r\nThank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity and for being a champion of literacy and education. Your kindness is making a real, lasting difference in the lives of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1738936595558,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-novels-sparking-a-love-for-read/9043325/","projectTitle":"Graphic Novels: Sparking a Love for Reading in Struggling Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3707_orig.jpg?crop=1737,1737,x308,y277&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631114684370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3707"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1804","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":360,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.8,"schoolId":1804,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brentwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brentwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/brentwood-elementary-school/1804"}
