As many of them want to go into the medical field, they face a competitive and challenging road ahead in college.\r\n\r\nI teach AP US History and by helping my students earn a three or above on their AP test, they can earn college credit to help them save when they go to college.

This little wooden box has become part our campus and community culture. Students stop by on their way to class, during lunch, and even after school, sometimes to just see what's there, sometimes to grab a book and sometimes to donate one. During evening events, families crowd around it to see what's available. The library has created a space where reading feels accessible, welcoming, and student‑driven. For many of our students, especially those who don't always have books at home, this project has opened a door to stories, knowledge, and possibilities they can now explore freely.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful outcomes has been the sense of ownership students feel. They don't just take books, they donate them, recommend them, and talk about them with pride. Students who once hesitated to call themselves readers now eagerly browse through it, discovering books they maybe would not have read otherwise. Others have stepped into leadership roles by helping organize the library, painting it, and encouraging classmates to participate. The simple act of choosing a book to give or selecting one to take has helped students understand that they are contributors to a shared community resource. This project has strengthened not only literacy, but also empathy, responsibility, and the belief that they have something valuable to offer.\r\n\r\nYour support made all of this possible. You helped create a space where reading is joyful, where students feel trusted, and where our school community can grow together through stories. Thank you for investing in our students, our school, and the kind of community we want to build. Your gift didn't just provide books; it created opportunities, confidence, and connection that will continue to shape our students long after the last page is turned.","fullyFundedDate":1770393437755,"projectUrl":"project/students-create-a-community-library/10077130/","projectTitle":"Students Create a Community Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Melton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7859950_orig.jpg?crop=286,286,x0,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694718381196","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7859950"},{"teacherId":6490148,"projectId":10099118,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me get these classroom supplies into the hands of my students!!
