The fielding equipment has also helped players improve hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and defensive technique.\r\n\r\nIncreased Engagement & Confidence – Students are excited to use professional-level training tools, and it has motivated them to practice with greater focus and determination. Having access to this equipment gives them the confidence to progress faster and feel successful while learning.\r\n\r\nBetter Practice Efficiency – With more specialized training gear, we can run more targeted drills and keep multiple students working at once. This has transformed practices and PE classes into more structured, productive, and fun learning environments.\r\n\r\nLong-Term Program Growth – Beyond skill-building, this equipment supports teamwork, discipline, and resilience—all qualities that will benefit students in athletics and in life. It also helps strengthen our program's foundation, giving future classes access to the same opportunities.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a lasting impact that goes far beyond equipment—it has inspired students, strengthened our program, and enriched our school community.

The target net has been especially effective in helping students improve serving and passing accuracy, making learning both fun and purposeful.\r\n\r\nImproved Organization & Efficiency – The ball basket has made it much easier to store and distribute equipment quickly, which maximizes instructional time. Instead of losing minutes chasing balls or sorting equipment, we can focus on actual skill-building.\r\n\r\nBoosted Student Motivation – Having new, high-quality balls and training tools has created excitement among students. They feel valued knowing that their learning environment is being invested in, and many have shown more confidence in trying new skills.\r\n\r\nLong-Term Benefits – This equipment not only enhances volleyball instruction but also supports teamwork, coordination, and physical fitness goals that extend beyond PE class. Students are developing skills they can carry into athletics, recreation, and lifelong fitness.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a real difference in how we can engage and inspire our students.

For many, Educated has ignited a new appreciation for learning and perseverance, showing that education can be a pathway to transformation no matter where you start. The Other Wes Moore has resonated just as powerfully—helping students examine the influence of their choices, environments, and role models. Together, these texts are encouraging my students to think critically about their own lives and to envision futures shaped by determination and purpose.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these stories extends beyond academics. They are supporting my students' emotional and mental well-being, reminding them they are not alone in their struggles and that hope and success are within reach.

The improved organization means students spend more time reading and less time searching. It has also helped foster a sense of ownership and excitement about our classroom library.

My students are now able to use the Silhouette Cameo for our Geometry projects in a variety of ways. Recently, we completed a unit on different types of polyhedra. The students were challenged to create a net that would \"build\" a specific polyhedra. They were limited to prisms and pyramids. Students designed nets for triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, and octagonal pyramids. Other students designed nets for rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, and heptagonal prisms. I even had one student who designed a net for an isoscehedron (20-sided figure). The students were able to quickly cut out and print their designs using the Silhouette Cameo and accompanying cutting mats, blades, and pen set. They were able to cut the outer edges of the figure and use the pen set to mark where the figure should be folded. The ability to use the Silhouette Cameo was a game-changer as far as students being able to quickly and accurately see if their designs were accurate or if they needed to be redesigned.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the Silhouette Cameo and all of the accompanying accessories, they were so excited. Many of my students come from low-income backgrounds and have never before had the opportunity to work with this type of technology. They were excited to begin the process of designing their figures so that they could see if their designs worked or if they needed to be redesigned.
