Donations of everyday essentials like Kleenex, hand sanitizer, snacks, ponytails, chapsticks, deodorant, toothbrushes, and hairbrushes make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of our students. These items help meet basic needs that might otherwise go unmet, allowing students to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn. Something as simple as being able to freshen up, manage personal hygiene, or have a quick snack can ease distractions and reduce stress, helping students stay focused and engaged in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support also helps create a more compassionate and inclusive school environment. The care closet sends a powerful message to our students that they are valued and cared for, no matter their circumstances. This sense of support fosters confidence, dignity, and stronger connections within our school community. Because of your generosity, students are better able to participate fully in their learning and build positive relationships with their peers and teachers. We are truly grateful for your kindness and commitment to supporting our students' well-being and success.","fullyFundedDate":1766330384718,"projectUrl":"project/the-grab-go-care-project/9606131/","projectTitle":"The Grab & Go Care Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9514458_orig.jpg?crop=250,250,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755981340744","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9514458"},{"teacherId":9514458,"projectId":9202204,"letterContent":"We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to our recent donation project. Thanks to your generosity, our school now has Kleenex, snacks, field trip medication bags, first aid supplies, and more—resources that make a daily difference in the health and comfort of our students. The Kleenex donations are already being put to good use as we transition back to school and head into the fall season, when colds and allergies are common. These simple supplies ensure that our students can stay focused and comfortable in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe donated snacks and drinks have had a special impact on student safety, particularly for those with diabetes. Having quick, reliable options available in the nurse's office means our diabetic students can manage low blood sugar episodes without delay, giving families peace of mind and helping students remain safe and supported at school. The grab-and-go snacks are also a huge help for students who may have missed breakfast or need an energy boost to stay engaged during the day.\r\n\r\nYour donations also allow the school nurse to be better prepared outside of her office with stocked medication bags and first aid supplies for field trips and emergencies. These contributions directly support student health, learning, and peace of mind for both families and staff. Thank you for investing in the well-being of our students—you are truly making a lasting impact in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1746787265069,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-wellness-donate-to-support-stud/9202204/","projectTitle":"Fueling Wellness: Donate to Support Student Care and Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9514458_orig.jpg?crop=250,250,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755981340744","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9514458"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_19974","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":452,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":19974,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Liberty Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Liberty Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/duneland-school-district/liberty-intermediate-school/19974"}
