A few students have even mentioned to me how their projects feel \"official\" and important.\" \r\n\r\nOverall, the project has not only brought enthusiam to our program, but it has essentially supported is in providing a means to maintain projects for the long run.

For example, I found a 300 slide power point that illustrates vocabulary words with pictures and GIFs. I could not be more grateful for that resource. In addition, I bought several lesson plans that include worksheets that accompany the chapters of the book. I know that keeping my students engaged, at whichever level they are, is important to their academic growth.

Our special education teachers work hard to provide ways for their students to take part in our school, and the collection program engages them and encourages the student body to dispose of their recycling the correct way. \r\n\r\nI can't wait for five lucky students to win the water bottles.

Through your donations, our Associated Student Body (ASB) program was able to get a color printer funded. This technology is not only helping students print their digital media in color but it is encouraging students to expand their digital media skills and and create flyers, brochures, and even invitations for students for future events. The most exciting part about the new product is having the option to be able to print copies in color. Students have seen a rise in student involvement through the new media being posted around the school campus because the flyers are very appealing to the student body. The students who have especially warmed to this new technology are our students with special needs because they are able to print pictures to trace onto posters or even paste directly onto posters. \r\nOverall, this new technology has brought joy, creativity, and motivation to our students.
