Because of your generosity through our DonorsChoose project, our students now have access to books that teach courage, empathy, resilience, and the power of being real. These are not just books on a shelf—they are tools for healing, reflection, and growth. At a time when so many young people are navigating pressure, uncertainty, and emotional challenges, you gave them language for their feelings and permission to be human.\r\n\r\nYour support goes far beyond pages and print. You invested in our students' confidence, emotional intelligence, and sense of belonging. Every time a student finds the words to express themselves, takes a risk to be honest, or learns to treat themselves and others with compassion, your kindness is at work. Thank you for believing in our students and in the importance of social and emotional learning.

They help students feel cared for, supported, and ready to engage in their education every single day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our students can concentrate on learning instead of worrying about what they don't have. These essentials help foster a sense of equity and belonging, creating an environment where every learner feels valued and seen.
