Students were so excited to learn how they could earn a snack by simply reading. Student interest was piqued, and curiosity was through the roof! As soon as the first kids said, \"Hey, Mrs., how do I earn a bag of Hot Cheetoes?\" I knew my idea was already working!\r\n\r\nOur library buzzes with excitement as students earn their prizes for reading 5 books from our reading challenge list. The love of reading is rewarded with treats, but the snacks are more than simple rewards; they are motivators! When one student reaches their snack goal, they get so excited and share how they were successful and which books they read. This is the exact outcome I hoped for!\r\n\r\nWe have also enjoyed the snacks in our monthly Eagle Reader club. Seeing students connect over their favorite books while enjoying a fun treat is only possible because of your generous donations. A little goodie can spark students' desire to choose reading even in the midst of their busy junior high lives! Thank you for helping me provide a powerful motivator to my hungry readers!","fullyFundedDate":1758823587369,"projectUrl":"project/book-bites/9590791/","projectTitle":"Book Bites","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kettler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4615051_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744145060873","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misty-kettler"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121862","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":53.6,"schoolId":121862,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr. Ronald E.
