The materials you provided — including Clorox wipes, clipboards, storage basket organizers, and a variety of SEL games — have had a meaningful impact on our school social work room and the students I service.\r\n\r\nThe Clorox wipes have been essential in keeping our space clean and welcoming, which helps students feel safe and comfortable when they come in for support. The clipboards and organizers have brought structure and order to our activities, making it easier for students to focus and engage during sessions. Most importantly, the SEL games have given students fun and interactive ways to learn about emotions, communication, and problem-solving. These games spark great conversations, build confidence, and allow students to practice skills in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nBecause of these resources, our social work room has become more inviting, functional, and student-centered. I've already seen students show excitement about using the new games, demonstrate pride in organizing materials, and feel more comfortable opening up during sessions. These moments are small steps toward big growth, and it would not have been possible without your kindness.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of social-emotional learning and for helping us create a space where students can feel safe, supported, and empowered.
