We are so grateful for all that was donated, with the most impactful items being the Clorox wipes, Lysol, and tissues. These items made a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of myself and my students, and we are incredibly grateful for your contribution to our classroom. Due to the donated items, we had lower instances of illnesses spreading in the classroom and less student absences. This is amazing because it means kiddos were at school and learning! \r\n\r\nAdditionally, we love all the early reader books donated to our classroom, and many off our students have adored the \"Biscuit\" early reader series that was donated and have had a fantastic time reading through the series. The squishy fidget toys are extremely helpful for our differently-abled students who benefit from toys that stimulate their fine-motor skills and allow them to have something to discreetly fidget with during instructional time. \r\n\r\nOverall, we are incredibly grateful for everything you donated to our classroom, and we appreciate you so much for your generosity and kindness. You are making a big impact in the learning environments of students, which transforms how they experience the educational system as a whole.
