The children and staff were so excited to come by our gardening table. And when they learned that they could plant a seed for free because some generous donor allowed them to be a farmer for a day, they were all so happy. Every student had the opportunity to pick a pot and plant a seed. \r\n\r\nFor the rest of the year, students and staff would stop by my classroom and give me updates about the growth of their plants. Getting our school community excited about learning has been extremely rewarding for me too. I already love planting and growing crops and now I have excited so many more people to love it too. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donations. I hope you realize how much impact you have on children because of your kindness.

They immediately put their names in the books and went through the table of contents for the different topics that they would be learning from. Although receiving their first assignment the day they unboxed, many of the students could not wait to get right down to business.
