Your generosity is making a meaningful difference in their daily school experience.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we are able to provide comfortable seating that allow students to pause, reflect, and regulate their emotions when they feel overwhelmed. This space will be used for social-emotional learning activities, mindfulness exercises, and brief check-ins—helping students de-escalate and return to class more focused and ready to learn. As one student shared, \"Sometimes I feel stressed and just need a quiet place to calm down before I can concentrate again.\"\r\n\r\nYour contribution supports not only our students' comfort, but their overall well-being. By creating a welcoming and trauma-informed environment, you are helping students build confidence, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel safe at school.

I have been able to put permanent genre labels on the fiction books in the library. It is very difficult to recommend new books to students when you have not personally read all the books in the library. The labels make it easier for students to find books they are interested in without having to do trial by error.\r\n\r\n When students first came in once the books were labeled, you could hear the excitement in their voices. They could easily find a new book in the genre they were interested in. They were talking to their friends and directing them to books.\r\n\r\nI would like for the students to become even more engaged with books and step outside of their comfort zone to try new genres. We are planning to begin a genre focused book club and having the labels will make it so much easier for students to make a selection.

Regardless of personal background, each one has found some resonating factor with the plot. They insist on us reading it together aloud (voices included!) and audibly commentate as we do so. This novel has added soo much depth to topics my scholars thought they already knew so much about. The best part is them asking to research details beyond the pages, seeing them truly engage with the novel. Your donation has added a new level of zeal to our learning process, and for that, our gratitude is eternal.
