The new sports balls and wagon have transformed our lunch and P.E. time. Students are more active, more engaged, and genuinely excited to get outside and play. Having equipment that's easy to transport and ready to use means more time moving and less time managing logistics, which has been a huge help for both students and staff.\r\n\r\nInside the building, the impact has been just as powerful. The NeeDoh ice cubes, blankets, markers, and lotion have become popular items in our SUPER Store, where students earn rewards by consistently meeting expectations. These incentives have strengthened our positive-behavior system and given students something tangible to work toward. We also can't thank you enough for the snow-cone machine. Students who made the honor roll were absolutely thrilled, and celebrating their hard work in such a fun way boosted morale across the whole school.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped us create a happier, more active, and more motivating environment for our kids.

Your generosity allows us to create more opportunities for lifelong fitness and ensures that every student has access to meaningful, engaging physical activity.\r\n\r\nThese bikes will provide a low-impact cardiovascular option that helps students build endurance, confidence, and healthy habits—especially those who may struggle with traditional team sports or high-impact activities. Because exercise bikes are accessible to nearly all students, including those recovering from injuries, managing physical limitations, or feeling anxious about competitive environments, they open the door for greater participation and success.\r\n\r\nWith this addition to our program, students will be able to set personal fitness goals, track their progress, and enjoy a positive experience with movement and wellness.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping us create a PE environment where everyone can thrive.

We've been using the new rewards—Needoh toys, sports balls, makeup items, and other fun incentives—to celebrate students who consistently follow expectations and support a positive school culture. One memorable moment happened during our first distribution day: students' eyes immediately lit up as they saw the colorful prizes, and the room buzzed with excitement. Several students told me they felt \"seen\" and \"proud\" for the positive choices they make every day.\r\n\r\nSince implementing these rewards, we've noticed increased participation, improved behavior, and more students encouraging each other to stay on track. The incentives have created a ripple effect of positivity across our school, and students who used to stay quiet or disengaged are now more motivated to contribute. As we continue our character-building lessons and schoolwide expectations curriculum, these rewards will keep reinforcing the importance of responsibility, kindness, and effort.\r\n\r\nYour generosity made a real difference for our students, and we are so grateful.
