I received the best donation! It truly made my day. I got wonderful essentials for my kids: notebook paper, gel pens, composition books, markers, colored pencils, and 3-ring binders. I had a class in the room when I opened the boxes. As soon as I opened the box with the binders, immediately a student begged for one. He'd been asking for one at home since school began and needed it to stay organized and current with his assignments. I wish you'd seen his eyes when he cautiously asked for the notebook and was met with an eager "YES" from me. His gratefulness was heartwarming. It's crazy how much we take small things, like binders and paper, for granted. His day was made, so mine was made too! I can't wait to give out the rest of the items, especially the composition books. They amaze me daily with the personal writing they trust me to read. Also, as I stated in my initial wishes, the markers and pens will help my ESOL kids to express themselves pictorially/graphically when English words are just too difficult to produce. They will help build much needed confidence. These items mean the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so overwhelmed right now!
