Already, I've seen students who are normally quiet in class show a new confidence and enthusiasm as they engage with this tool.\r\n\r\nI want to extend a special thank-you to Grimmway Farms for their generous contribution, to the Kings Point alumni who rallied to support us, and to the Actis family for continuing to invest in our school community.
