Together, they help everyone stay prepared, comfortable, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThese may seem like simple supplies, but they create a stronger, more supportive learning environment. Donors like you help transform a classroom from a place where students simply show up into a place where they feel encouraged, cared for, and capable of achieving great things.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in their success.

The new resources and decorations have not only boosted our PRIDE, but also sparked joy, compassion, and a deep sense of belonging among our students.\r\n\r\nWe've already put the materials to great use. In our school lobby, they were made available for everyone in the community—and let's just say, they flew off the table! We were restocking multiple times a day due to the excitement. Even more special, we hosted our very first Lavender Graduation. The students were absolutely thrilled and deeply touched that such a meaningful celebration was created just for them. Their words of gratitude and pride were unforgettable.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to keep this momentum going. Next year, we'll continue centering our LGBTQ+ students and allies, working to create welcoming, brave spaces where all students know they matter, that they're seen, and that they are loved exactly as they are.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this all possible.

We could not be more grateful with how these texts, stories, self-help books, poetry books, journals, etc. have enriched our classrooms across the school and students' overall experience.\r\n\r\nA transformation in students should go beyond just improving reading skills - students can, hopefully, develop and build a passion for literature, self-care, and growth overall, not just as a student, but a person altogether. These experiences will stay with them long after they move on and out into the world after graduating.\r\n\r\nSo, again, thank you SO much for providing these new books. You have made a profound difference in our classrooms and school as a whole, helping students not only build academic reading skills, but also helping them value themselves as worthy and see themselves within another. The emphasis on the importance of social-emotional learning is crucial and of the utmost significance, especially during this time.
