With your support, we were able to purchase silicone molds, colorful pigments, and glitter—materials that opened up a whole new world of creativity and personal expression for our students. More importantly, this project served as a meaningful opportunity to build resilience through art.\r\nWorking with resin requires patience, care, and a willingness to embrace mistakes—important lessons for growing minds. Students learned to stay focused during the multi-step process and to remain calm even when results weren't perfect. Watching them problem-solve, adapt, and celebrate each unique creation showed just how powerful hands-on art can be for emotional growth. These experiences helped them build confidence, persistence, and pride in their abilities.

Your contribution has had a remarkable impact on our students' creativity and confidence.

They were then able to see their digital designs come to life as they transferred them onto tumblers, makeup bags, and flags—turning imagination into something tangible and personal.\r\nThis project gave our students hands-on experience with modern creative technology and design thinking. For many, it was their first time creating something they could take home and proudly use or gift. The excitement and pride on their faces when they saw their custom designs pressed into real products was unforgettable.

Students are following patterns, practicing their counting, and watching their plush creations slowly take shape.\r\nOne memorable moment came when a student who normally struggles with focus completed their first full row of stitches and proudly exclaimed, \"I didn't think I could do this, but I did!\" It was a beautiful blend of art, math, and personal growth. We talked about how following steps in order and practicing patterns relates to what we do in both math and engineering. The sense of accomplishment on their faces has been incredible to witness.\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom has become a space where creativity and STEM come together in a fun and meaningful way.
