"Giving is not about making a donation, it's about making a difference" -Kathy Calvin

This quote holds so much truth because through your donation, you have made such a difference in our classroom and in the lives of our students. As a special Education teacher in and inclusive classroom, I have seen students with disabilities given a platform to shine and teach their peers. Students who may struggle to communicate as new citizens in our country, an ability to collaborate with their peers through block coding and games.

You donation has not only helped in teaching Computer Science language and curriculum, but we also have been able to integrate it into our Reading, Writing, and Math lessons. This has opened a whole new world of learning for our students and staff! Students are now speaking the language of algorithms, bugs, and debugging; conditional statements, inputs, and outputs and so much more.

We cannot thank you enough for your generous heart, your support in education, and for making learning fun in our classroom. We truly couldn't have been able to do all we have been able to do this year without it. The pictures are just taste of what we have begun, and we look forward to exploring and growing more as a class in Computer Science to provide equity to all students.

Warmly,

Mrs. Kyrou and class 1-101 :)”
