My students and I are beyond grateful for your generous donations of food, snacks, beverages, and other essentials for our classroom.\r\n\r\nMany of our middle schoolers have responsibilities outside of school, and sometimes that means arriving without having eaten breakfast or going long stretches of the day feeling hungry. Thanks to you, my students will have more options available to them, from oatmeal, grits and cereal to rice, tuna, soup, noodles, Beefaroni, snacks and more.\r\n\r\nHaving food available may seem like a small thing, but it can make such a huge difference in a student's day. Instead of worrying about an empty tummy, students can grab something to eat and put their energy back where it belongs: learning, participating, making connections with their peers and simply enjoying their school day.\r\n\r\nI'm especially grateful that we now have a variety of options. Whether a student needs something quick like a bag of Doritos or fruit snacks, something for breakfast, or something more filling like soup, rice or noodles, there is something available when they need it.\r\n\r\nYour generosity also provided other essentials that will help us stay prepared, including a MacBook charger and personal-care supplies.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, you've helped me create a classroom where students know that when they need something, there is someone looking out for them.\r\n\r\nThanks for being a fan of my students and my classroom.

My students and I are beyond grateful for your generosity and support. Because of you, our students will have new resources that support them both inside and outside of the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe new basketball, soccer ball, athletic shoes, cleats, and ball pump will give students more opportunities to get active, have fun, and spend time with their peers through sports and recreation. I absolutely love seeing my students in their natural, comfortable state when they are simply smiling, playing, competing, and building connections with one another.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe UNO cards and Connect 4 game will also help us create more opportunities for Games & Friendship. Some of my favorite moments with students happen when they get a chance to put academics aside for a moment, laugh, play, and just enjoy being kids. Even something as simple as a game can help create a stronger sense of community and belonging.\r\n\r\nYour donations also provided us with technology and other essential supplies, including a flash drive, portable charger, MacBook charger, fidget balls, cleaning supplies, and personal-care items that will help us keep our space prepared, comfortable, organized, and welcoming.\r\n\r\nIt means so much to be able to provide students with resources and experiences that help them succeed academically, socially, and personally.

My students have enjoyed using the Student-Teacher MacBook for completing work/projects and experiencing different features that ignite and push their creativity.\r\n\r\nBeing a Title I school, one of the Top 5 most disadvantaged in the country, there aren't always enough resources like laptops and tech tools for our students. The MacBook has been an asset to our classroom for students who need an extra laptop to get their work done in class, and for many it has been a gateway to using certain programs like iMovie to complete/edit projects that they've never been exposed to. Additionally, I have been able to communicate with students more efficiently as well as create more fun and engaging assignments due to the easily operable MacBook systems and fast Wifi.\r\n\r\nAgain, my students and I send our gratitudes to all of the donors.

Your generosity helped create a classroom environment where my students could focus less on whether they had the proper tools and more on learning, participating, and challenging themselves.
