So many students have thanked me for stocking these products, and this wouldn't be possible without your donations! \r\n\r\nWhen I first stocked these, even male students acknowledged how awesome it is that these products are available. Female students across the entire school stop to say thank you. I oftentimes will have to open a new box of pads and tampons after just a single day! \r\n\r\nYour donations have reduced the anxiety that so many females feel while on their periods.

We were able to hang posters since we need to tape. I also asked my students to create visual posters of the information that we go over. This helps me to see their understanding of the activities.\r\n\r\nIn addition to regular school supplies, you helped with some feminine products. Thank you for these. It's nice to know that I now have a huge stash for all of my students that need supplies. The nurse's office is on the other side of campus.

Having a printer in the classroom has been a life saver. Often, I have students coming to visit at all times of the day and after building relationships and putting a focus on communication, I realize I have run out of time for errands. Having the printer easily accessible in the classroom has made it super easy to print worksheets in real time for students to work on as well as plan more efficiently. Some students have even commented on the fresh warmth of the paper straight from the printer.\r\n\r\nThe paper is also so helpful considering that time is a resource of which we never have enough. There have been plenty of times this year that I've walked to the front office to find out that my requested copies were unable to be completed. There's been miscommunication or errors and time gets wasted.

Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase class sets of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and William Shakespeare's Othello.\r\n\r\nHaving physical copies of these foundational texts is invaluable to our studies. It allows every student to engage with the material on a deeper level—to highlight key passages, annotate in the margins, and easily refer back to specific lines. This shared experience fosters more dynamic class discussions and a greater sense of community as we explore these challenging and powerful works together.\r\n\r\nFrankenstein and Othello are essential pieces of the literary canon, and we are excited to delve into their complex themes of ambition, prejudice, identity, and morality.
