It has been incredible to watch their excitement as they take on responsibilities and interact with teachers throughout the building. Not only has this program created meaningful learning opportunities for my students, but it has also brought so much joy and positivity to our school. Resource Refreshers is helping promote inclusion by allowing my students to be seen for their strengths, abilities, and contributions to our school community.

I was looking for a new way to keep my older students engaged in music while also providing an age appropriate challenge to them, and these instruments are perfect for them!\r\n\r\nThe students were beyond excited when we opened the instruments. They thought they were the coolest things ever! One of my 4th grade classes is doing a little introductory lesson with them this semester while we are learning about the music staff. Using the ukuleles in combination with our music staff unit has made my students even more engaged and excited for music class.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for the ukuleles is to create a full ukulele unit for my 4th graders later this school year. My hope is to get my 4th graders started on the basics this year, so that next year we can build upon their musicianship skills with the ukuleles in 5th grade. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your donation.

Watching them take ownership of this project and see their ideas come to life has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nWhat I love most is that this goes beyond just using a 3D printer. Students are building confidence, working together, and realizing that they can make a real difference in their school community. Whether it's creating incentives for testing or kindness coins to recognize positive choices, they are helping create a more supportive and encouraging environment for everyone. Take a look at a few of our students who chose their prize for improving attendance. Their smiles say it all.\r\n\r\nYour support makes all of this possible.
