Students were thrilled to see the treasure box prizes, and the everyday tools like glue sticks, scissors, and erasers have given them everything they need to dive into projects without stress or delays.

Next, my students will be using the white boards and pens daily in math rotations, while the treasure box will continue to motivate them to show kindness and responsibility.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generosity!
