The zipper bags have been a huge help in keeping all our supplies readily available We have saved so much time not needing to search for what we need. Every student has their own pair of scissors now at their seat and this has allowed us to complete so many more hands on activities and crafts to cement our learning. The students are so excited to take home their projects to share with their families. The sunglasses were a fun addition to our walk and helped protect their eyes from the sun. Your generosity and support has allowed me to create a fun and engaging environment where my students are excited to come to school every day.
