And of course, a nice supply of sharpened pencils will always be useful in my English classroom.

We've already distributed nearly half of them to students most in need, and the impact has been remarkable. Each time we give a student a brand new backpack, we get to see the relief and and gratitude in their faces. Even with the language barriers, their appreciation is clear and I can't thank you enough for making that possible.
