Funded Oct 9, 2024On behalf of myself and my students and staff at the District 20 Pre-K Center, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous donation of bookshelves!
The excitement on the children's faces when they first saw the shelves filled with books was truly wonderful. It was like Christmas morning! The shelves have become a beloved gathering spot in our room, bringing the school community and children together.
We are using the new shelves in many ways especially since we finally received books for our new shelves! The shelves are so great in bringing the school community and children together. While the space does not allow more than a few children, bringing the children to the books in small groups has also helped the students focus on one book at a time.
For example, we recently completed a project where each student chose a favorite animal and researched it using library books. They then created presentations using the information they found. The shelves provided a quiet and inspiring space for them to conduct their research and delve into the fascinating world of animals.
Your donors got a little peek into our classroom by contributing to your project, and we know that they'd love to learn more. We are trying to get more bookshelves for more books in the future.
Thank you again for your incredible support. Your generosity has made a significant difference in the lives of our students.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Katy
