Because of you, my students now have access to books that truly speak to them—and that has made all the difference.\r\n\r\nI teach a class of reluctant readers, many of whom have struggled to see themselves as \"book people.\" When I inherited this classroom, the books left behind by a retired teacher simply didn't match my students' interests or reading needs. As a result, reading often felt like a chore instead of an opportunity.\r\n\r\nThe new books you provided have completely changed the atmosphere in our classroom. Students are excited to browse the shelves, recommend titles to one another, and—most importantly—choose to read. I've seen students who previously avoided books eagerly ask for more reading time and proudly talk about the stories they're enjoying.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just add books to our shelves—it helped build confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging in reading. You reminded my students that their interests matter and that reading can be something they actually enjoy.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where reading feels welcoming and fun. We are incredibly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nWith sincere appreciation,Leigh Morrill","fullyFundedDate":1763235794438,"projectUrl":"project/make-reading-fun/9625295/","projectTitle":"Make Reading Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9575209"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39575","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":233,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":39575,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newcastle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newcastle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/weston-county-school-district-1/newcastle-high-school/39575"}
