Some of my students even turn in a journal with summaries for every time they read. It's heart warming to know that we have support outside of school and we value the next generation's education. I never know who will walk in my classroom each year, but each student is loved and valued in my classroom. Maybe one day I'll be teaching a future president or surgeon.","fullyFundedDate":1746453958624,"projectUrl":"project/summer-reading-for-all/9226633/","projectTitle":"Summer Reading for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5081695_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522336453124","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/savannah-garcia"},{"teacherId":8855663,"projectId":8742118,"letterContent":"Wow!
