Your donation provided the clay itself, an essential and often costly material that brings sculpture lessons to life for my students. Eighth graders just completed their ceramic picture frames, while sixth and seventh graders have begun crafting expressive clay masks. These projects would not have been possible without your help. Working with clay gives students the chance to explore texture, form, and self-expression in ways that feel exciting and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe best part is that we're just getting started. The younger grades are buzzing with anticipation as they watch older students' projects take shape. Soon, they'll get to dive into their own clay experiences, many for the very first time.

The magnets allow me to quickly update our learning posters, keeping our walls relevant to what we are studying that week.

This simple addition brought immediate organization and efficiency, creating a much cleaner, safer, and more welcoming environment for all.\r\n\r\nOur instrumental music teachers, who only visit once a week, were especially pleased by this thoughtful upgrade. They no longer have to spend precious teaching time untangling stands or clearing a path to set up.

Many had never seen tools like these before, and the idea that they could use real maker tools to cut and build with cardboard created an instant buzz in the room. We've only just begun to experiment with them, starting with simple practice cuts and small construction challenges, but even in these early moments students are already discovering how much easier and more precise their work can be. One student proudly held up a perfectly cut curved shape and said, \"I've never been able to do this before!\"\r\n\r\nEven in this introductory phase, I can already see students' confidence growing. They're eager to dive into bigger, more complex ideas and keep asking when they can start building sculptures, prototypes, and cardboard inventions. Students who once hesitated to construct with cardboard are now the first to pick up the tools and explore what they can make.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include a series of hands-on projects, collaborative sculptures, wearable cardboard art, and simple prototypes, that students are already excitedly planning in their sketchbooks.

Clean-up has become smoother, faster, and far less stressful for everyone, which means more time spent creating and less time worrying about the mess.\r\n\r\nThe new tray racks have been a total game changer for set-up. I can prep an entire class's supplies ahead of time, store the trays neatly on the rack, and roll it right up to each table. Students love the independence of having everything they need right in front of them, and I love how much instructional time it saves. After class, I simply roll the racks back over, collect the trays, and we're ready for the next group. The wheels are an added bonus I didn't know I needed!\r\n\r\nAs we continue working on our current projects—especially those involving paint and mixed media—these organizational tools will support students in staying engaged, respecting materials, and working confidently.
