When I brought the art supplies into my classroom, I had students begging to switch their club to art so they could paint. Even now, students come to my class asking to borrow paint and paint pens for their own personal projects. Your donation of art supplies has inspired a school of students to pursue art, even if they thought they couldn't. \r\n\r\nMy students were ecstatic about getting their own notebooks too. I was surprised how excited they got about going through the different colors and picking a notebook of their own. They have decorated the fronts to make it truly their own. Some students even came back asking for another notebook for other classes. I see them taking notes every day, and actually being able to FIND them the next day. \r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate what you did for us. My students have hope again of getting the materials they need, even without the proper funding.
