The new pump and minerals allowed us to set up the tower this spring.

With your kind donations, we were able to receive a 30-piece set of classroom headphones to use with our Chromebooks. This addition has helped students complete listening and speaking activities in class on a daily basis. They can also practice speaking skills by recording their voices individually or in small groups. It has made language learning more productive and fun.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting this project.
