These books are already making a significant difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the books, we've integrated them into our daily reading sessions and classroom discussions. The students are really connecting with the characters and stories, which address important topics like empathy, managing emotions, and resolving conflicts. I've observed a noticeable improvement in their ability to understand and discuss their feelings, as well as in their interactions with one another. Your donation has helped create a more supportive and understanding classroom environment.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for your commitment to helping students develop essential social and emotional skills.

Your donations have made a profound difference for my autistic students, especially during this time of food scarcity. Because of your support, we've been able to provide proper snack provisions that meet their varying needs—something that is essential for their comfort, focus, and well-being.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has also allowed me to introduce sensory toys into each of the three classrooms I support. These tools have been transformative, encouraging meaningful interactions between me and the students and fostering moments of connection among the students themselves. Through turn-taking and sharing, they are practicing vital social skills in a safe and joyful way—skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has created an environment where these students can learn and grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. These snacks and sensory items have become more than resources; they are bridges to communication, calm, and confidence. Although many of my students are limited in their verbal communication, their happiness is unmistakable. The smiles, the calm moments, and the joy they show when their needs are met speak louder than words. And while most of the students I work with are not able say or write \"Thank you\", please know that your generosity is felt deeply by them and by me.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of supporting autistic students.
