I've witnessed a significant shift in how my students manage their emotions; instead of disruptions or emotional \"explosions\" when stressed, they now use these tools to self-regulate and stay focused. Several students have even opened up about their struggles with anxiety, sharing that these tactile outlets are exactly what they need to cope and feel comfortable while learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also allowed us to celebrate this growth with fun rewards. When students exhibit good behavior and use their tools responsibly, they earn a funny sticker—a simple prize that even my 8th graders genuinely love and look forward to! By funding this project, you've provided more than just supplies; you've created a safe, joyful space where my students feel supported enough to succeed.

They love creating videos, analyzing data, collaborating digitally, and pushing themselves to try new tools. Before the charging station, a dead Chromebook could slow that excitement down. Now, students have easy, reliable access to charged devices right in the classroom, allowing learning to continue without interruption.\r\n\r\nThe 24-outlet surge protector has made a noticeable difference. Chromebooks, tablets, and even robotics equipment can be safely charged at the same time, without students juggling cords or giving up learning time. Writers can revise drafts in real time, mathematicians can record and analyze data without stopping, and group projects move forward smoothly from start to finish.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students spend less time worrying about battery life and more time fully engaged in learning.
