Thanks to your kindness, my students had the opportunity to use real mini canvases and paint markers to bring their creativity to life. For many of them, it was their very first time painting on a canvas and it truly made them feel like real artists!\r\n\r\nAt the end of the year, we proudly hosted our very own \"Tiny Art Show,\" where each student showcased their favorite artist-inspired masterpiece. This experience deepened their appreciation for art and gave them the confidence to share their creativity with others.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made a lasting difference in our classroom.

The project was a hit! Not only with the kids but also with the parents. Many shared how thoughtful the gifts were, and some even mentioned having planters from older siblings who had done this project in previous years.\r\n\r\nBecause the planters can be reused with new plants or flowers, it truly is a gift that keeps on giving.

We no longer have to worry about deflated balls during PE or recess. It saves time and lets us get straight to playing. The students have even learned how to use it responsibly, taking turns and helping each other.\r\n\r\nWhat's even better is how much pride the students now take in their games. They treat the equipment with care and respect because they know it was given to them by generous people who care about their learning and fun. The jerseys have brought a sense of unity to our class, and the students often wear them proudly when they organize friendly matches. It's been wonderful to watch how much teamwork and cooperation have grown because of this donation.\r\n\r\nThank you for thinking of our class and for giving my students something to look forward to during recess and PE.

They are learning to plan, test, and revise. These are essential steps in both coding and real-life problem solving. The most exciting part for students is watching their car respond to the colored tiles they place on the floor. Their faces light up when the robot zooms across a path they've designed, and they're even more thrilled when it works exactly how they intended!\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this experience possible.
