Read Write (K)Now!

Funded Oct 22, 2010

It is with much appreciation and humbleness that I write my thanks to you for your intuitive, generous donation of High/Low books to my school library. The addition of these 25 titles to the library collection has been quickly noticed. Students that haven't visited the library since the first of the school year are avidly checking out these books! Reading for comprehension skills and vocabulary have dramatically increased. The confidence and self-esteem levels for these students hae rebounded. Student grades and test assessment scores have improved. Non-participatory classroom students are now joining in class discussions. Our ESL (English as a second language) students' language proficiency has risen. Students are successfully locating books of interest and checking them out. Students are enjoying reading. Students are succeeding!

This year has continued a budget shortfall for our school. Deeper, more painful program and personnel cuts are predicted for the next school year. Your generous assistance in providing these new library books for our students is truly a godsend. Without your angelic help, the new titles you have provided in support of literacy motivation for our students would never have happened.

Your literacy motivation contribution has directly affected our students' lives. To be literate makes academic success a probability. To be illiterate makes academic success a remote possibility. We are deeply indebted to your interest in promoting literacy. Many, many thanks in choosing to be the donor for this school library literacy project. ”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ameluxen
