This created a rough start to the year and made it hard to engage students. With your help, I was able to purchase some classroom STEM kits that focus on different physics scenarios. These kits were chosen to help give students hands-on opportunities to build and design scenarios to test what we discuss in class. This created a chance for students to independently explore ideas in a fun, engaging way that was low-pressure for success. \r\n\r\nTo make using the kits more beneficial for students, I made some guided worksheets that they could choose to use to help explore concepts such as kinetic energy, Forces, Momentum, and Kinematics, to name a few. While not all students chose to use the supporting documents, the kits themselves helped to spark conversations of improvement to designs, changes to gain certain outcomes etc. \r\n\r\nAs students continue to engage with the kits, the goal is to integrate them into the lessons so that students can more visually see what is being discussed outside of lab scenarios. Labs are often helpful to show real-world scenarios, but students seem to forget that the real world still includes building and playing with learning kits and 'toys' for a lack of a better word. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and generosity.

The storage solutions you provided have also made a huge difference in helping us stay organized, reducing stress and creating a more structured environment that supports student success. \r\nYour support has not only met a critical need, but it has also sent a powerful message to our students-that their education matters and that there are people in our community who believe in their potential.

While these may seem like simple tools, they have made an incredible impact on the way my students are able to engage with their learning every day.\r\n\r\nIn a high school classroom where technology is used constantly for research, writing, presentations, and collaborative projects, having reliable access to power is essential. Before your donation, students were often scrambling to find an outlet or trying to manage classwork on low-battery devices. Now, thanks to you, every student can confidently participate without the stress of a dying battery or limited workspace.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting to my students is how much smoother and more efficient their learning environment has become. They love knowing that they can plug in at their desks, charge during group work, and keep their devices ready to go throughout the day. It's reduced distractions and helped us focus on what really matters, learning.\r\n\r\nSome of my students used to frequently fall behind in assignments because their device would lose power mid-class. Now, with chargers and outlet hubs easily accessible, more students are staying on track, turning in work on time and are able to move around the classroom without tripping on cords.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom runs more smoothly, is safer and my students are better equipped to focus on their learning and successful futures.

These are critical skills that will benefit them in future jobs and everyday life.\r\n\r\nBeyond skill-building, this project also helps our students take pride in their work. Running the snow cone business allows them to see the direct impact of their efforts, from preparing the ice to selling the final product. They experience firsthand what it means to contribute to something meaningful, reinforcing their sense of accomplishment and self-worth. The funds raised from this business will also support our club and provide even more opportunities for student growth and enrichment.\r\n\r\nOur students are truly special. They are hardworking, resilient, and eager to learn. Despite challenges, they approach every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination. Your generosity is not just helping us purchase equipment—it is giving our students the chance to shine, build confidence, and prepare for a successful future.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students and supporting their journey.
