The arrival of the precut tennis balls truly made a difference, and the joy it brought to my students was beyond words. I will never forget the look of surprise on their faces as they instinctively pulled the chairs out, only to be met with the sweet sound of silence, rather than the usual SCREECH. They were so excited that they eagerly stood up to test it out again, pushing and pulling the chairs repeatedly, delighted by how effortlessly they moved- without a single noise!\r\n\r\nThe timing couldn't have been more perfect. The chairs arrived just in time for the ACCESS language tests, which are especially important for my English learners.

This simple change created an environment that supported their concentration and allowed them to perform their best. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a peaceful and focused learning space for my students.
