Each backpack represents more than just a meal—it represents stability, care, and the knowledge that someone is looking out for them, even outside of school hours. For many of our students, these backpacks bring comfort and security during the weekends, allowing them to return to school on Monday ready to learn and grow.\r\nWe've already seen the positive impact in our classrooms. Students are more focused, happier, and less anxious about where their next meal will come from. That peace of mind is something we simply couldn't provide without the help of generous donors like you.\r\nThank you again for your compassion and for investing in the well-being of our students.

We are very thankful for the hair dryer and STEM materials like sticks, tape, pipe cleaners, glue, clay, toothpicks and aluminum foil that were purchased because of your generosity. As soon as the students saw the materials, they were so excited to open the packages to see what materials they would have to make their pigs and houses.\r\n\r\nFirst, we made pigs out of the clay. Once the pigs were dry, the children painted their pig pink. The first graders learned the word persistence when some of their piggy noses fell off. We problem solved to attach the nose back on.\r\n\r\nAfter listening and discussing the different versions of the Three Little Pig books, each student created a blueprint of what they thought their piggy house would look like. Next, it was building day! The kids used perseverance and built their house to keep the wolf out. Finally, the BIG, BAD WOLF came to blow their house down. My students sat on our carpet and cheered when the wolf was not successful and gave suggestions to the students whose house fell.\r\n\r\nWe hope you can see how you have helped to influence the lives of many students by helping them build self-confidence, a joy for learning, and the gift of giving to others.
