As a new teacher to the district, I was unable to order class sets of basic supplies to support student learning, such as cardstock & colored paper, glue sticks, pencils, highlighters, bulletin board borders, and Post-it easel pads.\r\n\r\nThe glue sticks, pencils, and highlighters have been used to stock my materials station, which is utilized by students to annotate their learning during class in their science notebooks. The markers and poster paper have been essential for various collaboration projects, including the creation of our classroom norms, which students worked together to develop in groups. The cardstock also helps me create classroom and seasonal decor that makes my classroom more colorful and welcoming for students while educating them about cultural holidays and awareness months.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to continuing to use all of the supplies you have allowed us to access.

Your contribution has made an immediate difference in our 6th grade classroom. My students were thrilled to open the boxes and see brand-new headphones waiting for them—there was an audible gasp!\r\n\r\nSince receiving the headphones, our classroom has become a calmer, more focused environment. Students are able to listen to educational videos and participate in online lessons without distraction. A few students work more efficiently when listening to music, so these help immensely for them. It's amazing to see the confidence and independence that have grown from something as simple as having their own set of headphones. They take better care of them and feel more sense of ownership. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more inclusive and equitable classroom where every student can focus and learn.
