Funded Jul 12, 2020These books have impacted our students in ways that are indescribable. This donation sparked a project for the entire school and now we have TWENTY libraries in EACH homeroom in our middle school! Each library has a little over 200 books and all students in this building have access to them! Although this project started off during the beginning of the pandemic and was in response to giving students the opportunity to read a variety of books at their grade level, it has become so much more!
At our middle school, we build in 20 mins. of independent reading daily. Prior to this donation, students were not engaged or excited about this independent reading push. In fact, students would often sit in front of a book for a month and never really read. Today, students are able to find a high interest book at their level in any given room in this school! This year, many students have read up to 15 books and it is only November!
I cannot emphasize this enough when I say, this project impacted over 400 students in this school because it spark a project that eventually put thousands of books into our students hands!”
