The hygiene stations have become a safe place for students to discreetly grab toothbrushes, feminine products, and deodorant. I had several students from a class come together to organize the items into small storage bins. They worked together to make sure everything was labeled and well stocked. The printer has been used to print off job applications and resumes for high schoolers that are seeking work.

By learning to create clear, well-produced videos, they're not only more engaged but also gaining confidence and technical know-how that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is the ability to see and hear themselves clearly on camera, which makes their stories feel real and meaningful. Some students who were previously shy have flourished, using the technology to express themselves in new ways. Others have discovered interests in filming, editing, and podcasting, opening up creative opportunities they hadn't imagined before.

They are especially excited about being able to sketch, annotate, and complete assignments directly on their iPads with precision. For students who struggle with handwriting or traditional note-taking, this technology has boosted their confidence and allowed them to keep up more easily with classwork. One student who usually hesitates to share in class has taken the lead in showing others how to use tilt sensitivity for drawing and designing projects.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this technology has given our students a sense of ownership and pride in their learning.

Watching them take the activity seriously—while also having fun—was incredible. They learned communication, problem-solving, and leadership in a way that a textbook could never provide.

With the kitchen appliances you helped fund such as the Aroma Digital Rice Cooker, Bella Pro Air Fryer, Bella Electric Griddle, and the mini waffle and grill makers our student-led fundraising initiative has taken off with enthusiasm. Students have been using these tools to prepare a variety of treats, including waffle bites, grilled cheese snacks, air-fried veggie chips, and creative rice bowls, which they've sold at school events and community fairs to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. One standout moment happened during our spring carnival, when a group of 7th graders completely sold out of their signature mini waffles in under an hour. They were filled with pride, not just because of the success, but because they knew their hard work was directly supporting families in need.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to take the project even further. Students are now developing digital flyers, managing supply orders, and planning a community dinner night featuring global rice dishes made with the Aroma Rice Cooker. This next phase will tie into our social studies curriculum, giving students the chance to explore different cultures through food, while continuing to raise funds for a meaningful cause.
