After the challenges of COVID-19, our students are learning how to interact with peers, self-regulate, and listen to their bodies again. Your contribution has given them the freedom to choose seating that best fits their individual needs—whether that's standing, sitting independently, or having a quiet space to focus. These options are helping our middle-grade students manage the physiological changes they're experiencing and improve their focus and comfort throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe addition of fidget toys has also been a wonderful tool for many students, helping them concentrate and complete their tasks more effectively. We've already seen positive impacts as students take advantage of these new opportunities to learn and work in ways that best suit them.

Due to our current struggling economy, many families don't have access to new books at home, but thanks to you, they are discovering the joy of reading through fresh, relevant stories.\r\n\r\nAlready, we've seen so many students eagerly checking out books, exploring new worlds, and deepening their love for reading. With each page they turn, they're building essential skills—critical thinking, comprehension, vocabulary, and even empathy. These stories open doors to new perspectives and help them build empathy and a better understanding of the world around them promoting inclusivity and acceptance.\r\n\r\nThis year has brought many changes, including updating the library after several months of renovation. These new books are part of our fresh new look—and thanks to you, our library will be better than ever!\r\n\r\nWith recent library staff turnover, keeping our collection up to date has been difficult, but your support ensures our shelves are filled with books that spark curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
