One of the most memorable moments was seeing how seriously they took the responsibility of using the wipes to clean their tables. They were proud to \"get rid of germs\" and took ownership of keeping our space clean and healthy. The snacks have also made such a big difference. Students who were once tired or distracted in the afternoons now have more energy and focus, and it's made our learning time so much smoother. They always ask if it's snack time with big smiles. \r\n\r\nRecently, we've been reading stories and learning about how germs spread and how to keep ourselves healthy. It's been amazing to hear my students connect those lessons to the supplies we received—things like, \"That's why we wipe our desks!\" or \"Snacks help our bodies stay strong!\" Thanks to your donation, my kids are not only learning academically but also building lifelong habits about health and responsibility. Your support has truly made an impact, and we're all so thankful for the kindness you've shown our classroom.
