Instead of asking to leave for the water fountain, they can now hydrate right from their seats. This simple change has led to fewer disruptions and more continuous learning time throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe pitchers have also made a huge difference. We can quickly refill water bottles with minimal interruption to instruction, helping us maintain our flow while keeping students refreshed and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour donation of dish soap has provided us with months' worth of supplies to properly wash and sanitize the bottles. This ensures we can maintain a clean and healthy environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nAnd the Emergen-C arrived just in time for sick season! Having immune-support supplies on hand helps us proactively care for our students and promote wellness during a time of year when illnesses can easily spread.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping us create a healthier, more focused classroom where students can stay present and engaged.

We are people who learn by watching and doing—through hunting, gathering, and living in relationship with the land and sea. Knowledge is passed on through hands-on experience, observation, and practice. These ways of learning are not just traditions; they are how understanding truly takes root for our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of this, the math manipulatives you provided are incredibly powerful tools. They are helping our students turn abstract math concepts into something they can see, touch, and move. Numbers and operations that once felt distant are becoming concrete and understandable. Students are more engaged, more confident, and better able to explain their thinking because they can physically work through ideas.\r\n\r\nYour generosity honors how our students learn best and supports their success in a way that is culturally responsive and deeply impactful.
