The mac and cheeses, soups, and warm comfort foods you provided allowed us to create a space where students felt safe, valued, and connected. We used the meal as part of a community-building activity tied to our ELA work on gratitude narratives — students wrote short reflections about someone or something they appreciate, then shared their writing around the table. One student wrote, \"I've never had a school do this for us before,\" which perfectly captured the impact of your gift.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the food set up, their faces completely lit up. They were excited not just about eating together, but about the sense of belonging it created. For transfer high school students who are often reluctant, disconnected, or dealing with difficult circumstances, this moment of comfort and community meant everything.\r\n\r\nThe experience has carried over into our work. As we move into our next writing unit on personal memoirs, students are drawing on the Friendsgiving event as an example of community, gratitude, and positive memory. Their engagement has noticeably increased, and they've shown more willingness to share ideas and participate in discussions. Your support didn't just provide food; it helped strengthen our classroom culture and opened the door for more authentic writing and reflection.
