Your contributions of paper towels, Lysol wipes, magnetic whiteboard stickers, and headphones for our computers have made such a meaningful impact on our daily routines and learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe paper towels and Lysol wipes have been essential in helping us keep our classroom clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. In a space where students are learning, creating, and exploring every day, these supplies are used constantly — and your support ensures we can maintain a healthy environment where our students feel comfortable and cared for.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic whiteboard stickers have added a whole new level of excitement and interaction to our lessons. We've been using them for visual schedules, hands-on learning activities, and student-led work. It's been wonderful to watch the students engage with these new tools — they've really brightened up our classroom and made learning even more fun and accessible.\r\n\r\nAnd the headphones! These have been an absolute game-changer during our computer-based activities. Having quality headphones allows each student to focus on their individual lessons, listen to stories, and participate in activities without distraction. It's incredible to see how much more confident and independent the students feel when they have the right tools to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and generosity not only support our classroom in practical ways but also send a powerful message to our students — that there's a caring community behind them, cheering them on and investing in their success. It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful to have you as part of ours.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your thoughtfulness and support.
