Not to mention, they were old and boring. One of my first tasks was to pull these books and make a special section for them.\r\n\r\nSkip ahead a couple of years, and our Spanish speaking population is exploding. Many of our new students are not literate in Spanish, which research has shown, makes learning English even more difficult. Working with our ELD teachers, I started building my selection of books in Spanish so our new students could read to practice their native language and for enjoyment. \r\n\r\nThe books you provided are an exciting addition to our library. Now that our Spanish section is more diverse and appealing, the teachers in my school are encouraging the Spanish-speaking kids to check out more books and utilize our collection. Thank you so much for this generous gift!","fullyFundedDate":1746787299487,"projectUrl":"project/good-books-for-all/9290550/","projectTitle":"Good Books for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bullock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8038047"},{"teacherId":8298506,"projectId":9194205,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support. There are so many needs and worthy causes in education, and I appreciate your attention to mine! \r\n\r\nPencils and calculators may not be terribly exciting to students, but they are the tools that are used the most in my classroom. I know that fresh, new tools make a difference in the pride my students feel. Of course, I encourage them to bring their own from home, and many of them do, but I don't want any of my students to use the excuse that they didn't have a pencil or a calculator, so they are unable to participate.\r\n\r\nThank you again!","fullyFundedDate":1744032770652,"projectUrl":"project/help-with-the-most-often-requested-math/9194205/","projectTitle":"Help with the Most Often requested Math Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Belnap","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8298506"},{"teacherId":3212784,"projectId":9038255,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the donation which helped fund my City Block Project.

The project is a comprehensive review of the concepts we learned in first semester.\r\n Your generous donation made it so that we had the colored pencils and pencils to highlight the city maps and to color code each of the buildings in the assigned angles. Students were able to color the park, swimming pool and picnic area as well on their city maps.\r\n Thank you for helping fund my project. Your generous donation made this project possible.

Because of your contributions, my students now have the essential supplies they need each day—calculators and pencils—that make a real difference in their learning experience. Your support has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and I cannot thank you enough.\r\n\r\nAs a middle school math teacher, I see firsthand how access to the right tools can transform a student's confidence and ability to engage in their learning. Many of my students come to class eager to learn, but they don't always have the necessary supplies to fully participate. Something as simple as a pencil can be a barrier to success for a student who doesn't have one. And in math, where calculations are a daily part of problem-solving, having a reliable calculator ensures that every student has the same opportunity to focus on understanding concepts rather than struggling with computations.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, I no longer have to see students hesitate to ask for a pencil, worried they won't have what they need. I no longer have students trying to solve problems in their heads because they don't have access to a calculator. Instead, I see students who are engaged, confident, and ready to tackle challenging problems without worrying about not having the right tools. Your support has helped create a classroom environment where every student feels prepared and capable, and that is an incredible gift.\r\n\r\nBeyond just the supplies, your donation has sent a powerful message to my students—that their education matters, that people care about their success, and that they are supported in their learning journey. Knowing that there are people outside of our school walls who believe in them is incredibly motivating for my students. They see that their hard work is valued, and they feel encouraged to keep pushing forward in their education.\r\n\r\nI wish you could see the smiles on their faces when they use their new calculators to solve equations or confidently jot down their ideas with a pencil that is truly theirs to use. It may seem like a small thing, but to my students, it means the world. You have removed barriers to learning and replaced them with opportunities for growth and success.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity, kindness, and belief in the power of education. Your support has made a lasting impact on my students, and I am truly grateful for you. We appreciate you more than words can express, and we hope you know just how much your donation has meant to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1735698518334,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-get-calculators-and-pencils-for/8990203/","projectTitle":"Help Us Get Calculators and Pencils for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Butterfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8296978"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33330","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1183,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 9","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":33330,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pleasant Grove Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pleasant Grove Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/alpine-school-district/pleasant-grove-junior-high-school/33330"}
