Books Are Our Happy Place!

Funded Sep 27, 2021

First of all I want to say thank you! Coming back to school, full time in-person, was such an unknown. Everyone was nervous...but, excited to finally be in school! Unfortunately, throughout Covid, many of our students suffered not only emotionally, but academically. I knew that one of the best ways to support them in both ways was through their love of reading! The only thing missing was the books.

The books you donated to our classroom have had such a major impact! The students cheered as I introduced each one that I added to our classroom library. They listened in awe as I read aloud the beautiful picture books!

We have been adding to our 100 book campaign (photo included) after each of these amazing books were read. They have been such a gift...as the culturally diverse books have given my students the opportunity to see themselves in the books we have read. One of the books actually was titled the same name as one of my students! They were so excited!

In addition to the read alouds, these books have been an exciting addition to their book baggies...which they read in school and at home. They have been reaching and exceeding their own 100 book campaigns as well!!!! (picture included).

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity! You truly made a difference!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Toscano
