Many students expressed how \"grown up\" it felt to cast their vote in a real voting booth or to see their ideas represented in campaign slogans and button designs. They asked thoughtful questions, made connections to current events, and showed a deeper appreciation for their role in a democracy. Several even shared that they were excited to vote in the future and felt more confident about participating in civic life.\r\n\r\nThanks to the support of this project, students walked away not only with knowledge but with a lasting experience they'll carry into adulthood.

The students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the new balls, jump ropes, cones, and other PE tools. Their excitement was contagious — you could see the joy on their faces as they eagerly picked out their favorite items to use. One student even said, \"This is the best day ever!\" as they raced to play with the new soccer balls and engage in friendly competitions.\r\n\r\nThe new equipment has also enhanced our PE lessons. Recently, we focused on teamwork and coordination. The students used the cones and balls for relay races, practicing their teamwork and communication skills. It was inspiring to see them supporting each other and working together to complete the course. The impact on their physical fitness and social skills has been incredible.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the students are excited to continue using the new equipment in creative ways during both recess and PE. We are planning to implement new games and activities that promote fitness, collaboration, and fun.
