From fun adventure series like Pokemon and Dog Man to beautiful picture books like Parker Looks Up, your kindness puts big smiles on their faces and brings so much joy into our room every single day.\r\n\r\nHaving these new titles allows me to keep our classroom library interesting and fun. When children have access to great stories like Bink and Gollie or books that teach about feelings and friendship like The Together Tree, they fall in love with reading right away. Your gift helps me give my students choices that spark their imagination and make them eager to learn.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students can now pick out special books to take home in their backpacks each night. Reading these wonderful stories with their families at home builds confidence and helps them grow into strong readers. We are deeply grateful for your support and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1778190220667,"projectUrl":"project/finding-fantastic-fiction/10268078/","projectTitle":"Finding Fantastic Fiction","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1496205_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1461270254944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1496205"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35329","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":148,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":46.7,"schoolId":35329,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Waitsfield Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Waitsfield Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/vermont/harwood-unified-union-school-district/waitsfield-elementary-school/35329"}
