This technology has truly helped us \"stick together\" as a learning community, ensuring no student is left behind during a lesson.\r\n\r\nBy funding these diverse needs, you have helped me create an environment where students feel technologically empowered, physically cared for, and consistently celebrated. The classroom prizes have been a massive hit, serving as the perfect \"glue\" to reinforce our new routines and positive behaviors during these critical first months.
