Some of those activities and challenges included writing book reviews within our library catalog, answering the Question of the Week, and creating 2 Sentence Stories.\r\n\r\nWe are all looking forward to even more challenges and prizes next year!","fullyFundedDate":1746627630322,"projectUrl":"project/library-challenge-prizes/9179795/","projectTitle":"Library Challenge Prizes","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bailey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5520703_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531317985916","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/oconnellmhs"},{"teacherId":9401564,"projectId":9267657,"letterContent":"The purpose of \"Fuel the Music: Snacks for Showtime!\" was to provide nutritious and energizing snacks for my students during performances, rehearsals, and music events. As a Title I school, all of our students are on free or reduced lunch, and many do not have access to adequate nutrition outside of school-provided meals. These snacks helped support their physical well-being and ensure they had the energy to focus and perform at their best on stage. \r\n\r\nThis project is important because our students already face many economic challenges that can impact their ability to participate fully in extracurricular activities like music. Hunger or lack of energy can significantly affect their confidence, focus, and stamina during performances. Something as simple as a snack can make a huge difference in their confidence and ability to shine on stage. \"Fuel the Music: Snacks for Showtime!\" is about more than food—it's about showing our students that they are supported, seen, and celebrated.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of the McCormick Bands, we thank you for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1746699550431,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-the-music-snacks-for-showtime/9267657/","projectTitle":"Fuel the Music: Snacks for Showtime!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Talley-Bowens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9401564_orig.png?crop=445,445,x26,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745429191103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9401564"},{"teacherId":7649539,"projectId":8715833,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom. I feel that it is crucial for students to see themselves in the books they read. When a child is able to relate to what they are reading, it opens so many doors and opportunities for them. As I was selecting the books for this DonorsChoose project, I wanted to ensure that all people were represented, and I wanted to select novels that would pique my students' interests. \r\n\r\nAs the school year progresses, I hope that my students will read more and develop a love of reading. The novels \"The Hate You Give\" and \"Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief\" were checked out the very day I received them.

It is starting to warm up here and they are continuing to wear them every day; on cold days they wear them for outside; on hot days they wear them for the air conditioned colder classrooms.
