Your kindness has made an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and I want to share just how much your gift has changed our learning environment.\r\nThe new classroom lights have transformed our room into a calmer, more comfortable space. Many of my students are sensitive to harsh lighting, and the softer illumination has helped them stay focused, relaxed, and ready to learn. We've noticed fewer distractions and more sustained engagement during lessons.\r\nThe sensory aquarium has become a beloved and essential part of our classroom. Its gentle movement and soothing colors offer students a calming visual anchor when they feel overwhelmed or need a quiet moment to regulate. Several students now use it as part of their individualized sensory routines, and it has made a noticeable difference in helping them return to learning more quickly and with a renewed sense of peace.\r\nThe headphones have been incredibly valuable for students who struggle with auditory distractions. Whether they are working on reading interventions, participating in computer-based learning, or simply needing to block out background noise, the headphones have provided them with the focus and confidence they need to do their best work. For many of my learners, this level of support is life-changing.\r\nYour generosity hasn't just provided materials—it has created opportunities for my students to succeed academically, emotionally, and socially.

I am so happy to finally have them after all these years.\r\n The headphones will be used for their Ipads. These will be helpful for activities on the Ipad and read aloud tests. I used the hooks to hang up their headphone holder, prize holder, cords, dustpans, etc. It has helped organize the items for easy use. \r\n The pencils and sharpener are a great help. The kids lose and break pencils all the time. I am constantly sharpening pencils and giving them new ones. They have definitely been used many times already. \r\n We use the canvas bags to store all of their supplies in. This helps with transition between classes. We painted them.
