Your support has made a significant impact on my ability to provide exceptional resources for my students who require speech/language services.\r\n\r\nWith your help, I was able to acquire a variety of materials that not only enhance the learning environment but also make therapy sessions engaging and enjoyable. My students were so excited to have more than the same few games and limited resources I was able to provide on my own. Having these new resources provided through your grant are vital in helping my students meet their communication goals while fostering a love for learning.\r\n\r\nSpeech/language students at Peralta Trail are already benefiting tremendously from the new materials, and it is truly inspiring to see their progress. Your generosity plays a crucial role in making my speech/language room a place where my students can thrive and achieve their potential.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your support and for believing in my mission.
