These resources have helped students learn to name and manage their emotions, solve conflicts more peacefully, and build empathy toward one another. We've already seen students using the breathing tools, reflection activities, and cooperative games you helped provide—skills that not only improve the classroom environment, but also strengthen their confidence and relationships beyond school.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also created a space where students feel safer, more supported, and more connected. The activities you made possible give them opportunities to practice kindness, communication, and self-expression, and many students who once struggled to share their feelings are now becoming leaders in helping others do the same.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and for investing in their emotional well-being.
