On behalf of myself and the students of the special education program at Belle High School, I want to express my gratitude for your generous donation. Your generosity helped purchase essential supplies for some really cool art projects that the students have enjoyed.\r\n\r\nFirst, they completed one of the Stick Together projects. They made a giant picture of our school mascot, which I laminated and is now displayed in our room. Currently they are working on a Diamond Art project of a world map.\r\n\r\nIt is most certainly a pleasure to see kids put down their phones and choose to work together on something productive during free time.\r\n‍\r\nThank you for supporting the students at Belle High School.
