The Schalors are truly enjoying the snacks, and they are especially excited about learning their own signatures. The cursive handwriting workbook has made a significant difference in their writing skills. I have attached copies of the students' handwriting to show you how much this is needed for young adults and their next step into society as adults. When the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with joy and curiosity. They couldn't wait to dive in! As we continue our lessons, they will be practicing their signatures daily, and I look forward to seeing their progress. Your contributions have made a remarkable impact in our classroom! It gives me great pleasure to know that I have changed someone's outcome for just that moment. For that, I am grateful.
