From the moment students spotted the colorful characters and heard their first stories play, their faces lit up with wonder. These screen-free storytelling devices have quickly become a favorite, inviting children to slow down, listen closely, and fully immerse themselves in the magic of stories.\r\n\r\nThe Tonieboxes have created new opportunities for literacy, independence, and inclusion. Students of all reading levels can access stories confidently, whether they are building listening comprehension, exploring new narratives, or simply finding comfort in a familiar voice. We've watched reluctant readers eagerly engage, students collaborate as they choose stories together, and quiet corners of the library fill with imagination and joy.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your kindness and belief in our students. Your support has given them more than a new library resource—it has given them moments of calm, curiosity, and connection to stories they'll remember. Thank you for helping us create a library space where learning feels joyful and every child feels welcome.","fullyFundedDate":1761265308974,"projectUrl":"project/storytime-comes-to-life-tonieboxes-for/9440323/","projectTitle":"Storytime Comes to Life: Tonieboxes for Our Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kendrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7517355_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600483878241","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7517355"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7986","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":495,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.2,"schoolId":7986,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J.B.
