Dedicated Readers Need Larger Library For Reading Incentive
Funded Feb 18, 2013Thank you all so much for your generous donations! We just wrapped up our school-wide reading competition this past Wednesday, and so many of the donated books were read by several students. The students are always thrilled whenever they have a chance to get their hands on new books, and these books in particular were huge hits.
Reading is so important for students to grow. We just had a career fair at our school, and all of the panelists emphasized the importance of reading and writing in their jobs. Having books like these to help students grow in order to meet career goals later on is so key. Thank you for recognizing this and for donating to our students.”
With gratitude,

Burgeoning Readers Need A Classroom Library
Funded Sep 27, 2012This letter cannot begin to adequately express our gratitude. Since receiving the books, my students have been checking out and reading books each and every day. I have some students who have already read four or five of the books each, and they love them! The books lead them to have opinions and views that they didn't expect to have before reading. The books have shown them that there is a world beyond their own, and as a teacher, that is an irreplaceable lesson.
The students are so happy to have a classroom library, and they are proud of it. They respect the books, and they were floored when I told them how much had been donated to give them those books. It made them feel that there is a community that believes in the power of their dreams.
As a teacher, nothing gives me so much pride as to see my students happy and reading. You have opened doors for them that would not be available otherwise. For that, I cannot thank you enough.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Bane
