The markers have been used daily as they do their folder work. Since we do not get supplies at the beginning of the year like other teachers, these have been very helpful.\r\n\r\nThe tools you have provided for helping our students with their big emotions has given them a place to relax, as with the rocking chair. And of course the blackout tent has been a great calm down area and a safe place for students to collect themselves.\r\n\r\nAs you can see you didn't just impact our students once but daily they are impacted by your generous giving.
