In the past, we were only able to provide two to three copies of each title, which meant the entire club could not read the same book at the same time. We often resorted to group audiobook sessions, which were time-consuming and less effective due to scheduling conflicts and student absences. This generous donation is truly a blessing and has transformed the way our club operates.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for the funding that made these book sets possible. This initiative brings together students who share a passion for reading and friendly academic competition. With access to multiple copies of each title, our members can now read simultaneously, fostering richer discussions, deeper comprehension, and stronger team collaboration as they prepare for the Name That Book competition.\r\nHaving four sets of each book ensures that all members are equally equipped to engage with the material, regardless of their personal access to resources. This not only promotes equity and inclusion but also cultivates a shared love of literature. Your support directly impacts our students' literacy development, critical thinking, and confidence—skills that extend far beyond the pages of a book. We will proudly celebrate our donor's generosity and recognize their vital role in helping our team succeed in this year's competition.","fullyFundedDate":1746495118422,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-succeed/9291765/","projectTitle":"Read to Succeed!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5053763_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746106979413","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/i-harris"},{"teacherId":5284450,"projectId":9053708,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support of our project to help build multilingual books in our collection and add board games into our learning space.

The board games are fostering collaboration, fair play, and meaningful social interactions—helping students build empathy and communication skills in a fun and engaging way.\r\n\r\nYour donation is more than just materials; it's a powerful message to our students that their voices, cultures, and experiences matter.

With the project funds, we have expanded our resources from two baskets to three carts, and thanks to this recent contribution, we have added a full large cart to our collection. It is truly remarkable to see the increase in the volume of books available for our students to choose from.\r\nWhen I unveiled the new cart, the excitement was palpable, with a chorus of \"ooos\", \"ahhhhs,\" and wows echoing through the room. As shown in one of our photos, my students eagerly explored the cart before settling down to read. For those who have worked with three-year-old special needs children, this level of engagement is a rare and joyful sight. \r\nMoving forward, our goal is to utilize these books to prepare our young readers for the rest of the library, where the books are more delicate and expensive. This collection will help our students build confidence as they learn to independently select books.

On behalf of the Jessup team, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support and commitment to our mission.

From students who come to us with food insecurity, in need of clean clothing, and materials to keep themselves clean your contribution has made meeting these needs possible.\r\n\r\nThe students and staff were both astonished, excited, and grateful for the contribution that you have all made. As we continue to support students as a whole child your donation has created a pivotal point of change in so many students daily lives and their future. The initiative is already serving students on a daily basis and your donation has helped our students feel more confident and secure here at school. \r\n\r\nLooking towards the future we are hoping to increase the number of goods we have to offer our students and hopefully their families in the future. Your generosity goes far beyond financial assistance - it is a symbol of your belief in the importance of our cause and your dedication to making the world a better place.
