The supplies you have sent have helped my students and I to maintain a clean and safe space to conduct lots and lots of experiments! Not only has your contribution been essential when cleaning our classroom, but has encouraged students to improve health safety and preventative measures in general. \r\n\r\nHaving access to supplies like masks, has encouraged my students to stop by my classroom before the school day begins and ask for a mask if they are sick. This has kept the spread of illness down amongst the 8th grade as a whole. I even have one student who has made it her mission to make sure all of the 8th grade recieves hand sanitizer before re-entering the building at recess, so that students transition to lunch with clean hands.\r\n\r\nOverall, my students are proud of taking care of thier classroom and their health. We are so grateful for what you have done to keep our classroom environment safe, and help us to mainatin positive health and wellness practices. Your actions have left a major impression on our hearts, and I hope you know that you have contributed to each students' increased sense of community.
