Your thoughtful contributions have made a meaningful difference, and we are truly grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nWe deeply appreciate every item you provided. The birthday cards brought big smiles to students' faces, making their special day even more special. The scissors and pocket calculator have been especially helpful with their projects—our physics unit became easier for them to navigate, and students are now getting answers faster and with more confidence. The STARBURST candy has kept them motivated to show their work instead of guessing, encouraging them to participate, share their perspectives, and stay engaged.\r\n\r\nThe hand sanitizer, Kleenex tissues, and liquid hand soap have kept everyone healthier—especially important during flu season and after conducting labs. The Windex multipurpose cleaner has helped keep our workstations clean and ready for learning. The BAND-AID children's bandages have been perfect for protecting small scratches and allowing students to keep going without worry. And the teacher stickers? They take such pride in earning them! They love showing them off to each other, creating moments of joy and laughter throughout our lessons.\r\n\r\nThe string lights, fluorescent light covers, and the beautiful science tapestry featuring vintage formulas have transformed our classroom into a more warm, welcoming, and inspiring space to learn.\r\n\r\nEach donation helps create a brighter, cleaner, safer, and more joyful environment for our classroom. Your kindness supports both learning and well-being, and our students benefit from it every day.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your continued generosity and care.
