Students who were once anxious or withdrawn after the fire are re-engaging, laughing, and proudly sharing the dishes they create. These appliances aren't just tools; they are a symbol of resilience and of the kindness of people we've never even met.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom, for giving our students hope, and for helping us rebuild not just a kitchen, but a sense of normalcy and joy after such a difficult time.
