Thanks to your donations—bridge-building kits, magnetic blocks, art supplies, and chess boards—our students now have meaningful opportunities to create, explore, and collaborate in ways that strengthen both their curiosity and confidence.\r\n\r\nEvery Friday has become a day our students look forward to with excitement. These activities give them a much-needed break from constant instruction and graded assignments, while still allowing them to apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It's been inspiring to watch them learn how to play chess, experiment with structures, express themselves through art, and discover new interests in a hands-on, joyful way.\r\n\r\nYour contributions have done more than provide materials—you've helped reinforce that our library is a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone can come together, try new things, and feel a sense of belonging. The smiles, the teamwork, and the spark of curiosity we see each week are a direct reflection of the kindness you've shown.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of our students and our school community, thank you for believing in the power of exploration and for helping us create a space where learning feels exciting, safe, and shared.
