Students are engaging in thoughtful discussions, sharing personal experiences, and even practicing strategies they've learned from the stories. The difference is tangible – we are seeing more cooperation, more confidence, and more smiles.\r\n\r\nYour support has created a lasting resource that will benefit not only the students in my class this year but also many future classes.
