I was able to share 4 of the 5 Phone Homes with other teachers and they have really taken advantage of them. It allows for a point of reference for housing phones and the students respect the space.\r\n\r\nThey reacted great when they first saw it. It is a good size and cute for what it is. The students have been keeping away their phones for the most part, but the home is perfect to use when necessary.\r\n\r\nThis is just a simple box; it helps me and other teachers at my campus. I have already had requests for more of them so I will need to see what I can do to help out others.

Thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to provide these essential items to students in need, ensuring that no one has to miss class or feel uncomfortable due to a lack of supplies. This support has removed a significant source of stress for students who may not have had consistent access to these products at home, allowing them to focus on their education rather than worrying about managing their periods at school. \r\n\r\nMany students have expressed gratitude for the availability of these resources, noting that it makes them feel supported and cared for by their school community. Beyond the immediate benefits to students, the impact of these donations has contributed to a more positive and inclusive school climate. Students see that their needs are acknowledged and met, making them feel valued and supported, which fosters a greater sense of belonging.
