The cleaning supplies you helped fund have made a huge difference in maintaining our laptops, Chromebooks, and styluses. My students use these tools daily for lessons, research, and independent practice, so keeping them sanitized and functional has been a real game-changer.\r\n\r\nBefore this project, we often had devices that were sticky, dusty, or had unresponsive touch screens, which caused distractions and wasted class time. Now, students take pride in maintaining their materials — wiping down keyboards and screens after use, and making sure our shared styluses stay clean and ready for the next person. It's also been a great way to teach responsibility and care for shared equipment.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments has been seeing students remind each other to clean their devices before packing up — they've really taken ownership of this process. It might seem small, but this project helped us build better classroom habits and extend the life of our technology.
