These products are now stocked in a dedicated basket and drawer in my classroom, easily accessible to anyone who needs them. This small but powerful act of accessibility has transformed my classroom into a more inclusive and supportive environment. Students know they can discreetly take a pad or tampon without having to ask—removing the embarrassment and anxiety that often surrounds this very natural need. Many of my students come from households where period products are not always affordable, and your support has provided them with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind during their school day.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived and I introduced the system to my students, their reactions were full of gratitude and visible relief. One student even told me quietly after class, \"Thank you for doing this. I always get scared when I forget my stuff, but now I know I'll be okay.\" That moment reminded me how something so simple can make such a big difference. Looking ahead, I plan to continue this system as a permanent part of our classroom. As we work on building a community rooted in empathy and equity, this project has become a foundation for broader conversations about health, self-care, and respect.
