Because of your kindness, the students have access to tools to help them learn, grow, and explore in very meaningful ways. \r\n Your donation is not just a financial gift- it is an investment in the curiosity confidence and future of every child in our classroom. The excitement on their faces as they were receiving these resources, was truly inspiring. The students favorite new thing, was our smiley face rug, they were so excited to have a new place to use as a calm down area, listen to a read-aloud or just enjoy computer time. They also really loved the scoop rocker chairs, they ask to sit in them every single day. You have helped create a sense of joy that will remain with them for years to come.\r\n We are deeply grateful for your belief in me as a teacher, the belief in our students, and the belief in the power of education holistically.

I wish I could have captured the excitement in my students faces when I told them that these items were for them to use so they were not stuck working at their desk all day.
