The new snacks have helped my students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn, especially during long lessons or group activities. Just the other day, we were in the middle of a challenging math project, and having a quick snack on hand gave my students the boost they needed to keep problem-solving and collaborating without feeling distracted or hungry.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was contagious! They couldn't believe that someone cared enough to help fuel their learning in such a thoughtful way. It created a moment of joy and gratitude in the classroom and even sparked conversations about healthy choices and sharing with classmates.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using the snacks as a way to support learning and participation, especially during reading time, hands-on activities, and long group projects. Your donation hasn't just provided food, it's helped create a more positive, focused, and caring classroom environment.

They were so excited that they got all the other students in the school excited. \r\nI was then fortunate to receive a grant from our school district and ordered more yarn in order to be able to carry on with this lesson in other classes. The students have said it is their favorite class so far and they hope to do more fiber arts classes. Of course, I am all for that!\r\nBut, without your generosity and support the class would not have happened last year. And, subsequently, the other classes.

When proper training equipment is present students not only get to hear the concepts of learning skills but get to be involved and hands on. That is the impact that these tools have brought to my classroom and PE classes. Students vocabulary knowledge picked up tremendously. Throughout the last two quarters of school, students could be heard talking to their peers using vocabulary learned in class.
