After our community experienced severe flooding, many of our students returned to school carrying the stress and uncertainty of what they had just gone through. Thanks to your support, we were able to welcome them back with hands-on STEM kits and snacks, creating a safe, comforting environment where they could begin to heal. The STEM activities gave students an opportunity to focus, collaborate, and engage their minds in a positive way, while the snacks helped meet a basic need for those who had lost so much.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited and relieved when they saw the materials—it brought smiles and a sense of normalcy back into the classroom. Watching them work together, problem-solve, and encourage one another was a powerful moment of both learning and emotional recovery.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using hands-on STEM projects to support teamwork, resilience, and social-emotional growth.
