Your generosity has provided materials that will truly strengthen the connection between school and home, giving families meaningful ways to support learning together.\r\n\r\nBecause of your gift, my students now have hands-on tools they can use to practice the exact phonics skills we work on each day in our reading intervention groups. The mesh zipper bags make it easy for students to safely transport their materials back and forth, empowering them to take ownership of their learning. The dry erase pockets and sturdy cardstock are already proving to be incredibly valuable—students love using them to practice blending, segmenting, and reading words while having fun at home with their families.\r\n\r\nThese resources help build confidence, independence, and excitement around reading. You have given my students more than supplies—you have given them opportunities, encouragement, and the message that their learning matters.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting their path toward stronger reading skills.
