Your support has provided our students with a variety of engaging choices during inclement weather, which has made a world of difference. These resources allow the students to make decisions that best fit their interests and needs, ensuring they stay active and engaged even when outdoor activities aren't possible. Whether it's working on creative projects, participating in group games, or enjoying quiet activities, your contribution has created a space where students can thrive indoors.\r\n\r\nWhat's especially meaningful is that these alternatives encourage collaboration and interaction among students, allowing them to work together, communicate, and strengthen their social bonds. Instead of spending time on computers, they now have the chance to engage with each other in a more hands-on, personal way. This has been an invaluable opportunity for students to build relationships, develop teamwork skills, and foster a positive classroom community. We sincerely appreciate your generosity and your continued support of our students. They now look forward to free choice, fun Fridays and indoor recess.
