Thanks to your kindness, I was able to order many supplies to help make learning more enjoyable and engaging for my students.\r\n \r\nMy students were beyond excited when I shared the new materials in our classroom. At first, they were not able to notice the small additions to our classroom like the new banner hanging in the classroom library. All it took was for one student to notice the birthday banner welcoming their friend on their birthday and they were overjoyed. Soon, noticing the new additions to our classroom became a game. \r\n\r\nThanks to your selfless donation, I feel like I am able to help more of my students succeed in school this year. The new wobble stools allow me to work in small groups with them and they enjoy having the opportunity to sit in these \"different\" chairs. Your gifts will be put to good use for many years to come.

Now, instead of being distracted by noise, we can listen to the \"wild calls\" of curiosity and discovery. Because of you, Room 14 is not only quieter, but also more magical.
