It may seem small, but these touches truly lift their spirits and make our classroom feel welcoming. They now have plenty of pencils for their assignments, which keeps them focused and prepared without the stress of running out. And of course, they are thrilled to continue receiving graded work marked with the scented markers they love—they look forward to each color and scent!\r\n\r\nYour generosity has improved our daily workflow, boosted student motivation, and created a more positive environment for learning and creativity.
