They allowed our Key Club members to purchase all of the supplies to make STEM catapult kits for every single elementary student in our school district. My students made the kits by putting the supplies into Ziploc bags before the events. They set up the tables and welcomed the elementary children to the tables by showing them how to use the catapults to project pom poms into the air. The giggles and smiles brought joy to all of us in attendance. The Key Clubbers showed the younger kids how to make the catapult and sent them home with their own catapult.

Your support helped us restock essential supplies like clay, paint, brushes, and glazes—materials that gave our students the freedom to express themselves and tell their stories through art.\r\n\r\nMany of our students have faced social, emotional, and economic challenges, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With your help, they were able to explore clay work for the first time, and the impact was profound. The physical, hands-on process of working with clay proved incredibly therapeutic. Students found comfort in the creative process, and the art room became a safe space where they could reflect, focus, and simply breathe. I saw students come out of their shells, collaborate with classmates, and proudly display work they never thought they could create. These moments of growth and connection wouldn't have been possible without you. You gave them more than supplies—you gave them hope, confidence, and a voice.\r\n\r\n The classroom became more than just a space to learn—it became a healing environment where students could explore their emotions, build relationships, and rediscover joy in learning. Your support made all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful. From our hearts you yours, thank you for believing in our students and in the power of the arts. Your kindness and support have made a lasting difference.
