Thank you again for all of your support! Words can barely describe the joy on students' faces when we get new, exciting books. Every single one of the books we received has been checked out continuously since the day I put them on the shelf.
I have students that come in groups to check in/out the books before school so that they can guarantee getting the next one in the series. It makes my heart sing to see them so incredibly excited to learn and grow their English/reading skills.
I am going to have to request that they let me keep the books long enough to take pictures. That's the best problem I could possibly have.”
With gratitude,

My students absolutely LOVE their new furniture and wall clings. They were so excited that they helped me decide on placement as well as assisting in putting them on the wall.
Students that rarely, if ever, even look at books can be found sprawled out with a book in hand at one of our "reading stations."
Today, a student walked up to me and said, "my mom says that you must really love us because you are always getting us nice things." Her mom is right. I DO love them and I am so thankful to everyone who helps give them nice things.”
With gratitude,

My students absolutely LOVE our new soft seating! They are running into the library, checking out new books and jostling for spots to kick back and READ!!! They are so excited to have comfy furniture that I have kicked off another Donors Choose campaign to get more seating so that EVERYONE can have a comfy seat.
I (and my students) are so incredibly grateful for the generosity of all the donors that contributed to making this project happen. This has been the nicest gift we could ever receive!”
