There were actual cheers when we unboxed everything! One student picked up a book and said, \"We get to keep these?!\" It really felt like a special moment — like the classroom had been transformed just for them. They immediately began flipping through the books and asking if we could start using them that day.\r\nOur social worker will also be using these materials as the next step.
