By the afternoon, hunger often becomes a barrier to learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom now has snacks that help students refuel, regain focus, and finish the school day strong. Something as simple as a snack can make a huge difference in a child's ability to participate, concentrate, and feel cared for.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is not only filling hungry stomachs, but also helping create a classroom environment where students can succeed academically and emotionally.

My senior students seem to enjoy using the bean bag more than my other students and has become a piece of contention at times in the room. But I do not mind. It had been a good addition and a needed change to my classroom.

I truly believe there is an indescribable connection and value to reading from a real physical book as opposed to a screen.

These new dividers have truly been a game changer for my students. \r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the amount of boxes that arrived to the school, they were very surprised!! They were especially excited about the paper and the dividers. My school recently had run out of white paper, so we have been using color paper for printing temporarily. My students are very creative and love to color and draw, making the white paper a very valuable resource. \r\n\r\nSome of these items, such as the folders, will be used for my classes next year.
