We have been able to use what you donated right when we got the delivery! We didn't have enough noise canceling headphones this year so we were able to send them out to students who were on our waitlist right away. We have also been able to give more students chewy necklaces which is such a good tool for regulation! \r\n\r\nDuring individual occupational therapy sessions we have been able to use the erasable pens and have found more students who would benefit from using a pen instead of a pencil. One student we have doesn't like the feeling of pressure on his hand when writing. He writes very lightly, which makes his work extremely hard to read. We were able to try giving him an erasable pen from your donation and it has really helped him! His writing is now darker and more legible. \r\n\r\nAs we are getting into cold and flu season we will also be using the sanitizing wipes to help reduce sickness from being spread in the OT room.

These simple yet essential tools have empowered my students to express their creativity, explore new ideas, and engage more deeply in their learning. Whether they're sketching diagrams in science, illustrating stories in writing assignments, or adding color to projects that bring concepts to life, these supplies have made learning more interactive and enjoyable. Beyond academics, they've fostered collaboration, confidence, and a sense of pride in their work—helping my students develop not only artistic skills but also critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

As a charter school that serves students on the autism spectrum and others who benefit from a highly individualized learning environment, every resource you help provide makes a direct impact. The wipes have been incredibly helpful in keeping our classroom clean and promoting healthy habits—our students take pride in wiping down their workspaces and keeping shared areas tidy. This has given them a sense of responsibility and ownership over their environment. The colored paper has added excitement and engagement to our daily work; it helps assignments stand out visually and allows students to express creativity in a way that feels safe and accessible.\r\n\r\nThe new paper sorting tray has been a game changer for our classroom organization. It helps students find exactly what they need with minimal confusion, which is especially important for our learners who thrive on structure and predictability. Some students, in particular, who love organizing and sorting, have become the class \"paper helper\"—making sure each color is in its place and proudly assisting classmates in finding the paper they need. Thanks to your support, our students can focus more on learning and less on navigating distractions. Your donation truly supports our mission of helping every student reach their fullest potential.

In our special education classroom, many of our students have sensory sensitivities or unique needs that make hygiene routines especially important. With your help, we've created a Hygiene Station stocked with deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, dry shampoo, and body wipes—items that students can discreetly access when needed. This has empowered them to take more ownership over their personal care, which is a key life skill we're working to develop.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the Hygiene Station, their reactions ranged from excitement to quiet relief. It's opened the door to honest conversations about hygiene, self-care, and responsibility in a supportive environment. Our next step is to continue to incorporate hygiene topics into our social skills lessons. Students will participate in role-plays, visual schedules, and task analyses to reinforce routines. Your support has gone beyond providing supplies—it's helped create a space where students feel safe, respected, and prepared for real-world independence.

The new tools and fidgets have made a world of difference in helping my students regulate their emotions, stay focused, and feel comfortable in their learning environment. Whether it's a fidget to keep their hands busy, a computer mouse to make navigating technology easier, or coloring tools that spark creativity, these resources have made our classroom a place where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nIn addition to enhancing student experiences, the organizational materials have brought an extra level of efficiency to our classroom. With better systems in place, I can maximize instructional time and keep our learning environment running smoothly. These tools not only support my daily workflow but also ensure that everything is accessible and ready for students when they need it.\r\n\r\nAs their teacher, having everything I need at my fingertips allows me to be the best educator I can be. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to create a space that meets my students' diverse needs and helps them feel excited about learning each day.

Before you donated, I had to keep all my books, papers, and testing materials on the floor. Now I have them neatly organized on the shelves you provided for me. I no longer have to sharpen my pencils with manual pencil sharpeners, I can use a battery-powered one. It is super convenient to take with me since it doesn't need to be plugged in and is compact. Also, thank you for all the mechanical pencils you provided. That has been so helpful with testing! Students who prefer mechanical pencils can use them and I prefer to use them to record the students' responses so I don't need to worry about sharpening a pencil during testing. \r\n\r\nFinally, thanks so much for the prizes.
