These supplies help them feel confident, comfortable, and ready to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first received the kits, their excitement and gratitude were clear. Many shared how helpful it was to have their own supplies, and several mentioned feeling proud to take care of themselves in a new way. One memorable moment was when a student quietly thanked us, saying it made him feel \"just like everyone else,\" highlighting how meaningful this support is for their self-esteem.\r\n\r\nWith your contribution, our students are better prepared to engage fully in classroom activities and school life. The next step for our students is to continue building healthy habits, integrating personal care routines into their day, and using this confidence to participate actively in lessons and group projects.\r\n\r\nYour generosity not only provided essential hygiene supplies but also gave our students a sense of dignity and self-assurance—thank you for helping them thrive both in and out of the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1724502468539,"projectUrl":"project/basic-hygiene-needs-to-start-the-year/8521771/","projectTitle":"Basic Hygiene Needs to Start the Year.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buitrago","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3080375_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448403607832","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-buitrago"},{"teacherId":3080375,"projectId":7166152,"letterContent":"Supports Daily Operations: Donated ink ensures that printers can function efficiently, allowing staff and students to print necessary documents, worksheets, and resources without interruption.\r\n\r\nReduces Costs: Ink can be a significant expense.
