Thanks to your generosity, our students have been able to stay energized and focused during practice.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the snacks you helped fund before every team practice. It's a small thing that makes a big impact: after a long school day, students grab something to eat, sit down together, and shift into practice mode. One of my favorite moments this season was watching a group of new debaters, snacks in hand, helping each other refine their arguments before a tournament. The room was full of laughter, focus, and collaboration (exactly the kind of learning environment we hope to build).\r\n\r\nRight now, our students are preparing for their next round of competitions, including local invitationals and the upcoming state circuit. They're continuing to grow as confident speakers and thoughtful teammates, and your support has truly helped make that possible.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and helping them find their voices while keeping them happy.

The headphones have also helped create a focused, calm environment where each student can engage with literature at their own pace.
