I tend to gather whatever items come my way and save them for the kids, but usually I do not have enough. This donation came at the most perfect time. I have been able to give the kids snacks, which has helped with tame their hunger and help them refocus their attention to their exam.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping and feeding my students.

Because of you, our library is now a space where students feel comfortable, inspired, and excited to learn.\r\nStudents are very excited about the new materials! They are all very excited to relax on the beanbag and sit near the colorful pillows. Many immediately grabbed books and settled into the cozy areas, while others couldn't wait to explore the creative supplies in the Makerspace. \r\n\r\nBeyond academics, this space has had a powerful social-emotional impact. Students are more relaxed, more willing to participate, read and learn. The cozy environment has created a sense of safety and belonging—especially for students who may feel overwhelmed or unsure in traditional classroom settings.\r\nNext, we will continue integrating hands-on projects and activities where students can create, be curious and enjoy learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly made a difference.

Thank you so much! My students were so excited to learn that snacks would be provided when they found themselves a little hungry during the last class of the day, and it has truly made a difference! They're so much more joyful now and get along so well, since they're not battling being hungry in class. It's really helped students stay focused and get all of their committee work done on time for our school activities. This spring semester we've had a Glow in the Dark dance, a parent conference fundraiser, lunch activities for students during two weeks of testing, School Counselor Appreciation Week, \"Make a Friend Day\" for Valentine's Day, a Valentine's Day fundraiser, Black History Month, starting a school-wide recycling program, and there's still more to go! \r\n\r\nStudents were really excited to be able to use the stencils and markers to help us make creative signs that promoted all of these activities. Not everyone has artistic skills and it's nice to have the extra help to keep the posters we hang in the hallway looking professional. The sheet protectors have also helped us cut down on wasted paper by protecting the flyers we make. And the clock! No longer do I have students asking me what time it is or if it's time to clean up. Instead they're managing time themselves because of the wonderful clock that you donated. Thank you!\r\n\r\nWe really have accomplished so much already this semester and we couldn't have done it without your generosity. We still have more to do; an inclusion fair, Spring Spirit Week, Teacher Appreciation Week, and more activities for end of the year testing. We're so grateful to donors like you who are willing to support the difference we're trying to make at our school. Providing a sense of community and belonging goes such a long way in helping students feel connected to school and with closing the achievement gap.
