The supplies arrived, and the kids were thrilled to unbox everything. Their excitement was contagious, and it's been an incredible experience to watch this project come to life.\r\n\r\nMy students all have various special needs, and this coffee cart has provided them with a meaningful, hands-on opportunity to collaborate and interact with peers and staff. Your generosity has provided more than just supplies; it has given my students a platform to practice and develop essential communication and social skills in a real-world setting. We have been able to serve staff members and the positive feedback has been a huge confidence boost for my students.\r\n\r\nThis project would not have been possible without the support of the Donors Choose community. The impact of this coffee cart goes far beyond the classroom, helping my students learn to work as a team and engage with their peers and school community in a new way. It is a joy to see them take pride in their work and celebrate their own success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and our students.

It has been so fun to find seeds to plant during our Community Based Instruction walks, plant them, and see them sprout. After we see them sprout, we transfer the seedlings to bigger pots . \r\nSo many flowers have sprouted and we placed them out on our balcony to get more sun. We are also growing cucumber plants that we put them out on the balcony. The plant has grown so much that it is climbing on the railing. Hopefully we get some nice vegetables soon.
