Freeman, author of \"Alone.\" Because of your kindness, every single student will receive their own signed copy of the book. Many 7th graders have indicated that this is their first ever signed book and they are delighted! \r\n\r\nYour contribution does more than put a novel in each student's hands. It creates a shared reading experience (all 7th graders will read \"Alone\" in conjunction with the visit), encourages thoughtful discussion about the book and experience, and inspires a genuine excitement for literature. It also provides all students an equal opportunity to engage in a nationally acclaimed author visit and the book signing, which is often reserved for those students/families who can access these opportunities on their own and purchase books to be signed. For every student that has never had these opportunities, a visit and experience like this can be transformative. \r\n\r\nWhile we are unable to share images of the students, the following were gratitude notes they submitted during class. It's hard to express their enthusiasm when they found out they were getting a copy of \"Alone\" (for free and signed) in this letter, but we hope their sincere appreciation shines through in just a few of the student notes and in the poster in the image.\r\n\r\n-\"Thank you so much for your generous donation! I love the book Alone so I am so excited to have my own signed copy.\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much for funding this, this is a really amazing thing that I appreciate very much. Thank you so much!!\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much! Alone is one of my favorite books and what you're doing is great!\"\r\n-\"THANK YOU FOR THIS DONORS! You are showing us an act of kindness and I appreciate it very much.\"\r\n-\"Thank you donors so much you are such amazing people for funding every student getting a signed book!\"\r\n-\"I have never read alone before, so I would love to read this book for the first time with a signed copy.\"\r\n-\"Thank you donors. You are incredibly generous for funding this. This is really cool.\" \r\n-\"I would like to get a signed copy so thank you for funding this!\"\r\n-\"I really do appreciate your donation towards us. Thank you so much for this gift to us!\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much for donating so we can get these books! We read this last year in Battle of the Books and it's such a good book. It's a really big honor!\" \r\n-\"Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to expand our learning horizons!\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much for donating this! You don't know how much it means to us. Thank you for being so kind and generous.\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much! I have never read this book before but it looks so fun. I can't wait to get my copy signed. It is so generous of you and I have been looking for a new poetry book. Thank you so much! \"\r\n-\"Thank you so much for buying every 7th grader who wants one a signed book. I first read Alone last year for Battle of The Books, and I instantly fell in love with it. You/You all are amazing generous persons for allowing us this incredible opportunity. Thank you again and have an amazing year.\"\r\n-\"Thank you so much for providing these books. I am thankful for the chance to get a free signed book.\"\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in the power of books, stories, and shared experiences. Your support made it possible for every student—regardless of circumstance—to participate fully in this extraordinary opportunity.

Your generosity makes it possible for students to immerse themselves in open-ended engineering and problem-solving challenges—projects that mirror the work of real scientists, engineers, and innovators.\r\n\r\nEach day, students engage in great conversations as they collaborate, share ideas, and plan their designs. They listen to one another's perspectives, debate possible solutions, and think critically about how to overcome the obstacles they encounter. The problem-solving discussions that unfold are some of the most meaningful moments—students analyze what isn't working, adjust their designs, and celebrate each small success together.\r\n\r\nThrough challenges such as rescuing stranded toys, building wind-powered machines, inventing force-and-motion games, managing resources during a \"zombie apocalypse,\" and planning survival systems for life on other planets, students strengthen essential STEM skills and habits of mind such as perseverance, resilience, and flexible problem-solving.\r\n\r\nBecause of the materials and science kits you provide, students test, refine, and bring their ideas to life. We have just started the planning stage in most of the projects and students are overflowing with excitement as they discuss what materials they will need. \r\n\r\nThank you for empowering our young innovators to explore, create, and dream big.
