The students in my school have been yearning for something to take pride in and help them physically see a symbol of our school. The eagle you helped me purchase is perfect. When it arrived in our classroom there were cheers and a huge sense of excitement. Now that we have had it in class for a while, I've noticed a palpable uptick in morale.\r\n\r\nHaving students that are proud for their school does wonders for their learning.

Not every student enjoys the loud play based learning- some like this softer approach.
