We were able to provide access to 24 beach towels and enough sunscreen for all students.\r\n\r\nEach day staff heard, \"I need a towel for the pool.\" We loaned out towels, washed them after use, and distributed them for the next kid that needed to borrow one. It was a great feeling to be able to provide what kids needed to enjoy the pool. Sometimes we take for granted the small things in life.\r\n\r\nSunscreen was also provided for students to protect themselves during the hot, summer sun. It was packed during each trip for the pool.

I noticed that many students were able to stay focused longer and were more engaged in their learning when they had a comfortable place to work. Some of my reluctant readers even began choosing to spend more time in our library area because it felt inviting and relaxing. It was rewarding to watch students grab a book and settle into a space where they felt comfortable and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, I was able to create a learning environment that supports both academic growth and student well-being.
