Your generosity made it possible for my students to enjoy an engaging and inclusive gaming experience that has truly transformed our after-school club time and \"Fun Friday\" activities.\r\n\r\nWith the PlayStation 5, extra controllers, and a range of games you provided, our students have had so many opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and build friendships through play. What started as just a fun reward quickly became a space where students worked together, solved problems, and cheered one another on.\r\n\r\nOne of my students, who usually stays quiet most of the week, now leads team challenges and helps peers pick games that match their interests — something she never felt confident doing before. Others have used strategy games to practice critical thinking skills, while sports and adventure titles sparked conversations about teamwork and perseverance.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just give us equipment — it helped create a safe, structured environment where students feel excited to come to school, connect with each other, and celebrate both big and small successes. I've watched friendships grow, leadership emerge, and students who rarely participate at first become enthusiastic contributors during gaming sessions.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and in the power of play to support learning, connection, and joy in our school community.

The moment the students saw the sewing machines set up and the colorful yarn and threads neatly organized, their faces absolutely lit up. For many, this was their first hands-on experience with sewing, and their curiosity quickly turned into confidence as they began experimenting with stitches and designs.\r\n\r\nOne of the first projects we tackled was creating simple drawstring bags, and watching the students problem-solve, collaborate, and help one another thread needles or troubleshoot machine hiccups was inspiring. These projects have already taught them patience, precision, and the pride that comes with seeing their ideas take shape.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our young creators include designing custom pillowcases and small plush toys, and we're working toward organizing a showcase where they can display their work to the school community.
