This simple but powerful gift has made a big difference in their confidence, comfort, and ability to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies arrived, the reaction was a mix of relief and gratitude. Some students shared that they often had to miss class time or felt anxious when they didn't have what they needed. Now, they know our classroom is a safe, discreet place where they can take care of themselves without embarrassment or stress.\r\n\r\nAlready, I've noticed a shift in the way my students carry themselves. They are participating more fully, engaging in lessons without distraction, and feeling empowered to come to school prepared each day.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to ensure this resource remains available throughout the year so that every student can continue to feel confident, cared for, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me remove a barrier to my students' education and for showing them that their needs matter. Your kindness has left a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1753974114812,"projectUrl":"project/confident-cared-for/9461553/","projectTitle":"Confident & Cared For","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8625747_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752452787723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8625747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132435","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":401,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":92,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":132435,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carver Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carver Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/meridian-public-school-district/carver-elementary-school/132435"}
