We've had fewer sniffles and less time missed due to illness. This has helped us stay focused and consistent with our learning. In fact, our improved attendance even led to our class earning Best Attendance for the Week. This was a moment my students were incredibly proud of!\r\n\r\nBeyond attendance, the air purifier has created a fresher, more comfortable space where students can learn, play, and grow. In a kindergarten classroom, where we share materials and spend so much time together, having cleaner air gives me peace of mind. It also helps families feel reassured as well.\r\n\r\nYour donation is more than just a piece of equipment. It is an investment in my students' well-being, success, and daily experience at school.

To date, more than 600 students have participated in the literacy games I created and sent home.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been remarkable. Teachers have seen a significant improvement in students' weekly phonics test scores, directly tied to the consistent practice happening at home.
