Students quickly joined our first online quiz, and suddenly our video screens were filled with smiles and laughter. Kahoot has brought an incredible level of energy and connection to our remote learning environment. We use it regularly to review reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills. The interactive format keeps students engaged and motivated, even from home, and has turned what used to feel like routine review sessions into moments of fun collaboration.\r\n\r\nI'll never forget the first time we played together. As soon as the countdown music began, the chat flooded with emojis and cheering. Students were competing enthusiastically but also encouraging one another and celebrating every correct answer. One student remarked, \"I love when it is Kahoot time! Lock in!\"\r\n\r\nNext, my students are taking the lead by designing their own Kahoot quizzes to share with peers. They're writing thoughtful questions, checking facts, and practicing presentation skills as they host games for classmates.

With the addition of our new camera and tripod, the yearbook committee has taken our school memories to a whole new level. While many people are familiar with taking photos at home, having professional equipment in a school setting has made a huge difference—giving our students the tools to capture crisp, high-quality images and video that truly reflect the spirit of our school year.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting to the students is how professional they feel using this equipment. They've learned how to frame shots, adjust lighting, and think like real photographers and storytellers. The tripod has been especially useful during interviews and events, allowing them to capture steady, polished footage that's been featured in digital yearbook pages and school social media posts. It's built their confidence and pride in their work—and it shows!\r\n\r\nSeveral students who had never considered themselves \"creative\" have really stepped up this year. One student became the unofficial photojournalist, attending almost every school event to ensure it was documented. Another discovered a passion for video editing after filming student interviews for a special year-end feature. These moments of growth and leadership wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving our students the chance to build real-world skills while creating something meaningful.
