I cannot begin to tell you how much your support has meant to me and my kids as a first-year teacher.\r\nYou have made our classroom a more interesting, cozy, and fun place to learn. I can't keep the Dog Man books on the shelves because my students have become obsessed with them! The whiteboards have become a daily necessity, especially for math lessons to solve problems and expressing their ideas. The new cushion seats in our comfortable reading nook have immediately turned into a popular area.

My students were so excited the first time they saw the shelves stocked with snacks and fun items—they could hardly wait to start earning and spending their classroom currency. It immediately gave them something meaningful to work toward, and their faces lit up with pride when they got to \"shop\" for the very first time.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the store as part of our classroom economy system. Students earn money for positive behavior, responsibility, and academic effort, and then decide how to save or spend it. Just this past week, one student proudly saved up for several days to purchase a snack he had his eye on—he told me it felt \"just like a real store.\" That sense of accomplishment is exactly what I hoped this project would create.\r\n\r\nThe next step is building on these lessons by connecting our store to math skills. Students are budgeting, and comparing costs—real-life applications that make learning fun and memorable.\r\n\r\nYour gift didn't just provide snacks and prizes—it created excitement, motivation, and a way for my students to see how hard work pays off.
