As you can see in the images, the laminating sheets and sheet protectors have allowed me to create binders for students to use daily to work on both independent academics as well as participate in a more engaging way with parts of our routine. The filament for the 3-D printer has given my students who have more significant needs the ability to take the 3-D prints of letters to answer the same questions that their peers are answering using the Velcro choices or by handwriting answers, depending on their abilities. Being able to 3-D print adaptive materials for my students has been a game changer! We are looking forward to finding lots of creative ways to incorporate 3-D prints into our academics to increase understanding.

As students work together to prepare presentations and bring their roles to life, they develop teamwork, communication skills, and pride in their learning.

Your generosity ensures that, despite these hardships, students have consistent access to nutritious snacks that help meet their most basic and essential needs.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students are better able to stay energized, focused, and ready to participate fully in daily lessons.

Healthy snacks strengthen not only academic performance but also emotional regulation and positive peer interactions, helping to create a calm and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your donation provides something even more meaningful—comfort and stability. Offering snacks communicates to students that they are cared for, valued, and supported.

Art allows students to bring historical events, cultures, and stories to life in meaningful and memorable ways. Through painting, illustration, and other creative projects, students deepen their understanding of complex concepts while strengthening their voice and confidence. The supplies you have provided—paint, brushes, and other materials—give them the tools they need to fully engage with the curriculum and express their ideas in powerful ways.\r\n\r\nYour support sustains more than just projects; it sustains the heart of our school community. By investing in the arts, you are helping students heal, connect, and thrive after a difficult chapter in our school's history.
