The laminator and printer supplies have been especially impactful. With the new laminator, we can create durable learning materials such as multiplication charts, number lines, and math reference cards that students can use again and again. The printer cartridges and copy paper allow us to produce clear, customized assessments, practice pages, and exploration activities that meet students where they are academically and give us a steady supply for the entire year.\r\n\r\nStudents are especially excited about the hands-on learning tools. The counting bears are colorful and engaging for our K–2 students, and now that we finally have enough for everyone, participation has increased noticeably. The number line sliders have become a favorite for kindergarten and first-grade students, giving them a clear and visual way to add and subtract without relying only on their fingers. Students who struggle with abstract math concepts have responded particularly well because these tools make learning concrete and accessible.\r\n\r\nEveryday classroom supplies also make a meaningful difference. The portable pencil sharpener replaced one that had worn out and is easy to use in different teaching spaces, quickly becoming a small but beloved part of our classroom routine. Having a full supply of pencils means students no longer have to work with broken or worn-down tools. Because of our donors, students are more engaged, better equipped, and able to focus fully on learning. Teaching matters, and materials matter too.

You cannot begin to understand how impactful these books are.\r\nI will admit I was worried about loaning them out, but every single one was treated like an honored guest in their houses.

The STEM kits and research tools from this project didn't just add new materials to our shelves but they changed how my students see themselves as learners. \r\n\r\nBefore this project was funded, many of my students had limited opportunities to work with real scientific and engineering tools. Concepts like data collection, problem-solving, and experimentation often felt abstract. Now, students are actively engaged in hands-on investigations. They are building, testing, recording data, and analyzing results together. I've watched students light up when an experiment works and learn just as much when it doesn't. These moments have helped students understand that mistakes are part of the learning process, not something to fear.\r\n\r\nThis project has also transformed the overall classroom environment. There is a stronger sense of curiosity, teamwork, and pride in our work. Students are excited to share their projects, explain their thinking, and reflect on what they've learned. Instead of asking, \"Is this right?\" students now ask, \"What can we try next?\" That shift shows growth not only in academic skills, but in mindset.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project helped students see themselves as scientists, engineers, and innovators. Many of my students come from backgrounds where access to hands-on STEM experiences is limited. Your support gave them opportunities they may not otherwise have had, and it showed them that there are people who believe in their potential. Because of you, my students feel empowered to dream bigger, think creatively, and approach challenges with confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where curiosity is encouraged, learning is joyful, and every student feels capable of success.

They weren't just reading about technology, they were building it. Some students experimented with motors and lights. As they coded their first sketches and watched their ideas come to life, I saw curiosity, confidence, and persistence grow right before my eyes. These tools helped students understand abstract coding concepts in a tangible way, and they began troubleshooting problems with creativity and resilience. Skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, students who had never touched an Arduino before now talk about building robots and inventing solutions. They have gained meaningful experience with engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork, and they have begun to see themselves as young innovators. Thank you for making this possible.

The students' eyes lit up the moment they opened the kits—many of them exclaimed how \"cool\" and \"fun\" everything looked. You could immediately feel their curiosity and excitement filling the room!\r\n\r\nSince then, these resources have become central to our hands-on lessons. Students are now planning their next challenge: modifying their catapults to improve accuracy and distance. They are collaborating, problem-solving, and recording data just like real scientists. Each day, they grow more confident and engaged, asking thoughtful questions and testing new ideas.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students have a chance to explore, experiment, and innovate in ways that make learning come alive.

Students read independently and in small groups, discuss ideas openly, and connect stories to real-life situations. Board game stations complement reading by giving students hands-on opportunities to practice strategy, cooperation, and respectful communication in a low-stress, engaging environment.\r\n\r\nStudents who were once reluctant readers—especially English Learners—are now more confident and engaged.
