Your contribution has made a powerful and immediate impact on some of our most vulnerable young people—students who face housing instability, food insecurity, and significant day-to-day challenges.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, we were able to create a fully stocked essentials pantry filled with socks, tights, T-shirts, hoodies, hairbrushes, menstrual products, and other items that many of our students struggle to access on their own. This space has quickly become a trusted resource where students can stop by, feel safe, and \"shop\" for what they need with dignity and without judgment.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide basic necessities—it has given our students a sense of stability, comfort, and support. These items help them feel confident coming to school, better able to focus on their learning, and reassured that someone cares about their well-being.\r\n\r\nOne of the most touching moments we've experienced since opening our pantry involved a former student who had graduated but found herself in a difficult situation. She returned to our school because she said it was the only place she knew would help her. She was able to select clothing and toiletries from our closet, reminding us that the impact of your generosity extends beyond our current students and continues to support young people even after they leave our halls.\r\n\r\nPlease know that your donation is making a real difference in the lives of students who need it most. You have helped create a resource that supports their dignity, fosters trust, and reminds them that their community believes in them.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping us meet their essential needs in such a meaningful way.

By adding more books to the classroom, you have just added the chance for a student to finally understand this enjoyment.\r\n\r\nWe use the books most often as reference materials, leveled readers, or books to use extra time after activities have been completed for the day. Ninety percent of our students are reading below grade level. The addition of leveled readers and more visual learning books is what is allowing some students to finally understand their world through science and encouraging them to continue pushing forward with their education.\r\n\r\nYou have allowed some of our lowest readers the opportunity to finally think that they can be successful not just in school but in life as well.

We have started multiple types of plants and they have done well germinating, but many plants do not like their roots wet all the time.\r\n\r\nWe have come to the conclusion that we will be engineering some new types of materials to grow in as we don't think the foam that came with it is the best at growing seeds for plants. We are working through the engineering process and becoming small-time botanists. These students are thinking in ways they never have before. It is wonderful to see. \r\n\r\nAs we have an outdoor garden as well, we are comparing and contrasting the growth. Collecting data and learning how to graph or put it into understandable form.
