The new library furniture has already made such a big difference here at Richland R-1. Students from Pre-K all the way to seniors are using it every day for reading, learning, and just enjoying a cozy place to sit.\r\n\r\nThe kids absolutely love the comfort and flexibility the new setup offers—it gives the library a fresh, updated look that makes everyone want to spend more time reading. Our younger students, especially, get so excited to grab a comfy chair and dive into a book.\r\n\r\nEven our teachers are getting great use out of the space! The new furniture has made PD days and meetings so much more comfortable and inviting.\r\n\r\nIn the future, I'm hoping to keep building on this project and add even more cozy, flexible seating so students and teachers alike can enjoy reading, learning, and working together in comfort.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make our library such a welcoming place for everyone.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has become a mainstay of our practice sessions. With its enhanced performance capabilities, our players can now train at the highest level, experiencing the game exactly as it's meant to be played and keeping up with our competition. The difference has been immediately noticeable. Load times are faster, gameplay is smoother, and our students can focus entirely on developing their skills and strategies without loading screens holding them back.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting to witness is how this new Switch 2 has energized our entire program. Word spread quickly through the school that we had upgraded our equipment, and we've welcomed several new prospective players who were inspired to join after hearing about the Switch 2. Students who might have been hesitant before are now eager to be part of the team, knowing they'll have access to quality equipment.\r\nThe impact extends far beyond the games themselves. I've watched our players naturally cluster around the Switch 2 during practice sessions, taking turns playing while others observe, discussing strategies, and offering encouragement. These moments of collaboration have created a stronger team within our program. Players who once practiced individually are now working together, analyzing gameplay, and building genuine friendships. The team bonding that has emerged around this shared resource has been one of the most rewarding outcomes of your donation.\r\n\r\nYour donation has provided our esports players with a space where they can belong, grow, and work together toward shared goals. Thank you for believing in our esports program and for investing in these students' passion.","fullyFundedDate":1755608560150,"projectUrl":"project/esports-and-nintendo-switch-2/9551764/","projectTitle":"Esports and Nintendo Switch 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Touchette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4184636_orig.jpg?crop=1814,1814,x262,y301&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760121159663","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrtouchette"},{"teacherId":9517476,"projectId":9322568,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donations that made it possible for our science classroom to receive new flexible seating and a table.

We now have a seat for every student in our largest class!\r\n\r\nYour support has created a space that encourages curiosity and teamwork while making learning more engaging and enjoyable. The new seating options and table allow students to adjust their environment to best fit the task at hand, whether that's group experiments, small discussions, or independent work.
