Because of you, my students now have essential supplies like Expo markers, tissues, pens, markers, colored pencils, and hand sanitizer that make our daily learning environment both functional and welcoming. These materials are used every single day, whether students are brainstorming ideas on whiteboards, annotating texts, completing creative assignments, or simply staying healthy and focused during class.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, my students were genuinely excited. Many of them immediately asked if we could use the new markers and colored pencils for our next activity, and several expressed how relieved they were that everyone would now have access to what they need without worrying about bringing supplies from home. It was a meaningful moment for them to see that people beyond our classroom care about their learning and well-being.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we can move forward with lessons that emphasize collaboration, creativity, and active participation. Students are currently working on written responses, visual organizers, and group activities that rely on these shared materials. Your support has helped remove barriers and allowed my students to focus on learning, expressing themselves, and growing with confidence.
