They enjoyed munching on Takis as part of the restaurant atmosphere, which made the experience even more memorable.\r\n\r\nOur fifth grade students, dressed in aprons and chef hats, did a wonderful job acting as facilitators. They guided their peers, explained genres, and helped keep the experience fun and organized. Students also used a Google Form to record their favorites and then graphed the most popular books and genres, adding a meaningful real world learning component.\r\n\r\nYour support made this entire experience possible.

One moment that stood out was when a student noticed how much clearer his monitor looked after using the wipes and said, \"It feels like a brand-new computer!\"\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the supplies, their reactions were priceless. They were surprised that something so simple could make such a big impact, and many of them were excited to take responsibility for maintaining their own learning space.
