Because of your contribution, our weekly prize reinforcement system has become an exciting and meaningful way to celebrate student growth and effort.\r\n\r\nEach week, my students work hard to build their language skills while engaging with grade-level content. The prizes you helped fund have added a joyful sense of motivation and encouragement. Students are even more eager to participate, take risks in speaking English, and persevere through challenging tasks. Their eyes light up when they earn a prize—it's a tangible reward that reminds them their progress matters.\r\n\r\nBeyond the smiles, this reinforcement system has helped build confidence, strengthen positive behaviors, and foster a classroom culture of celebration. Students cheer one another on, and many are showing increased independence and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created more than just excitement—you've supported a system that honors effort, boosts engagement, and empowers students who are striving every day.

It has given them a special place where they can collaborate, share ideas, and build confidence in their language skills.

Whether it was hands-on math manipulatives, interactive reading games, or creative learning centers, these tools brought our lessons to life and sparked genuine enthusiasm in every child.\r\n\r\nThe impact on student growth has been incredible. I've seen remarkable improvements in both reading and math, with students more eager to participate and more confident in their abilities. Struggling readers found joy in decoding stories, and students who once hesitated with numbers began to approach math with excitement. These tools made learning feel like an adventure, and your generosity made that possible.

I teach at two Title 1 schools where families cannot afford additional expenses such as instrumental music supplies. Your kind and compassionate donation was able to get my kids back to playing their instrument with very little time off, and for that I am very grateful.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to be able to get back to playing, thanks to your donation. They were smiling from ear to ear once I put the new strings on their instruments and put the bows in their hands.
