Students have amazed me time and time again with their personal growth academically and behaviorally. The prizes serve as tangible celebrations of their perseverance and hard work.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw the boxes arriving and as we began to unpack and see all the fun items donated to our classroom.
