Every student received these items with excitement and pride, choosing the colors they loved and walking away feeling seen and cared for. One student hugged me so tightly I will never forget it, and many parents shared heartfelt words of gratitude that brought tears to my eyes.\r\n\r\nWe are still distributing items as students arrive each morning, and each moment continues to be just as meaningful as the first. The smiles, the gratitude, the confidence—it is all unforgettable. This would not have been possible without your generosity.

Because of you, our classroom is now more organized, flexible, and welcoming for all learners. The new storage cabinet has helped us keep materials easily accessible, empowering students to take ownership of their learning space. The mobile standing desk, along with the wireless keyboard and mouse, has allowed me to better circulate, model lessons, and work one-on-one with students in a way that keeps learning active and engaging.\r\n\r\nWhen the items arrived, students were immediately curious and excited. The sensory resources—like the aquarium gel pad and sensory tubes—have become meaningful tools for self-regulation, helping students stay calm and focused during lessons. The classroom headphones have made a big difference during independent and small-group work, allowing students to fully engage with digital learning without distractions. Students also loved helping set up our refreshed bulletin boards using the Better Than Paper rolls, which instantly brightened the room and showcased their work beautifully.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using these resources to support differentiated instruction and hands-on learning. Students are already more independent, comfortable, and ready to learn, and that confidence shows in their participation and collaboration. Your generosity has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, focused, and excited to learn every day.

We've also used the Velcro tape and staple gun for hands-on engineering challenges, allowing students to safely assemble prototypes and display their work proudly around the room.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were especially thrilled to explore the new tools and couldn't wait to try them out. The Minecraft SquishMe figures became a fun and motivating surprise, serving as stress-relief tools during challenging problem-solving moments and rewards for teamwork and perseverance. Even students who sometimes struggle with focus were eager to participate and stayed engaged longer than ever before.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include using these resources for a redesign challenge where students will improve their original engineering projects based on testing and feedback. They are learning that engineering is a process—one that involves creativity, collaboration, and resilience.

I am now able to use valuable resources to target specific learning goals and meet students where they are at.

This project has already had a positive impact on our students and the work we do to support their social and emotional growth.\r\n\r\nThe printer plays an important role in counseling by allowing students to use printed materials that help them better understand and manage their feelings. During individual and group counseling sessions, students use worksheets, visuals, feelings charts, coping strategy pages, and goal-setting activities. These materials help make abstract concepts like emotions, self-control, and problem-solving more concrete and easier for students to understand. Having immediate access to printed resources allows sessions to be more engaging, structured, and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is being able to take something with them after counseling sessions. Students feel proud when they can bring home a coping strategy sheet, reflection page, or goal they created during counseling. It helps them remember what they learned and practice those skills outside of school, including at home and in the classroom.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially benefited from this new technology, particularly those who respond best to visual supports or hands-on activities. Some students who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally are more comfortable writing, drawing, or completing printed activities. Others feel more confident when they can review their coping tools independently. The printer has helped students feel supported, empowered, and more successful in counseling.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our counseling program is better equipped to meet the needs of our students.

Before receiving these materials, some students struggled to sit comfortably or remain engaged during lessons—not because they lacked interest, but because their bodies needed appropriate outlets for movement. The wobble cushions and bouncy bands have been a game-changer. They allow students to release energy in a safe, purposeful way while remaining seated and attentive.\r\n\r\nThe wobble cushions, in particular, have helped students develop better body awareness and balance. Students who once had difficulty sitting for short periods are now able to stay engaged for longer stretches of time.
