We sent out a survey at the beginning of the year asking students if they had a trusted adult in the building. The results only showed 60% of our students could identify with this statement. Our most recent survey showed 100% of students have a trusted adult in the building. I shared my donation with our social worker. We both have found it easier to have students drop by just because they wanted a snack. This led to multiple conversations and relationship due to the fact that they felt a reason to come in. Now students come by not for the snack, but to talk. Students were so grateful when they saw the huge surplus of snacks and cups of Ramon. As teachers, our salaries don't always afford us to be able to give to our students in areas we know will make a huge impact. Our students and staff are grateful for all you do to make the educational setting a safe and welcoming space. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1734575991579,"projectUrl":"project/dropout-prevention-specialist-needs-drop/8756747/","projectTitle":"Dropout Prevention Specialist Needs Drop-in Time With High School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rexroth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9741001"},{"teacherId":9629342,"projectId":8562077,"letterContent":"When I first saw that donations were made to my project, I couldn't believe it!

They said with the hygiene products, they feel better about themselves and not embarrassed to go to their classes.
