It was heartwarming to see their excitement grow as they imagines using these items in their dorm rooms. For many, it made the idea of going off to college feel even more real and exciting.

Your generosity has allowed me to provide students with a small but meaningful way to celebrate their birthdays and feel recognized in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen I introduced the idea of giving each student a full-sized candy bar on their birthday (or half-birthday), the initial reaction was a mix of surprise and quiet appreciation. While high school students may not always show their excitement outwardly, I could see genuine smiles and hear the gratitude in their responses. Several students even commented that it was the first time their birthday had been acknowledged at school.\r\n\r\nThese celebrations have helped build a stronger sense of community in our classroom. Students look forward to recognizing one another, and this has contributed to a more positive and supportive atmosphere. The acknowledgement of their special day has also reminded them that they are valued not only for their academic efforts, but also as individuals.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our coursework, I've noticed that this small act of recognition has carried over into our daily learning environment. Students are more engaged and connected, and that sense of belonging plays an important role in their success.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping me create these moments.
