The paper you helped provide has quickly become an essential part of our students' daily routines—from brainstorming ideas and drafting essays to illustrating projects and proudly sharing their finished work.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, students were excited to dive right in. One class used the paper to design posters for a science project, while another began crafting handmade storybooks to share with younger readers. Across the school, your support has helped students bring their ideas to life in ways that build confidence and pride.\r\n\r\nHaving a steady supply of paper might seem simple, but it has transformed how teachers plan and how students express themselves. Instead of worrying about running out of materials, we can focus on deeper learning—encouraging students to take risks, revise their work, and showcase their ideas in creative ways.\r\n\r\nYour gift has given our students more than paper—it has given them the tools to think boldly, create freely, and find joy in learning.
