When the supplies arrived, our student leaders couldn't wait to open the boxes and start organizing. They carefully unpacked brushes, combs, bonnets, and barrettes, talking about how each item would help another student feel confident and cared for. One student said, \"Now nobody has to feel embarrassed if their hair isn't done—we've got them!\"\r\n\r\nThis project has become so much more than we imagined. It's teaching leadership, empathy, and service in a powerful, hands-on way. Our next step is to expand the Confidence Corner by including hygiene and self-care kits for students who may need them over the weekends or holidays. Because of you, our students have learned that small acts of kindness can have a big impact—and they're determined to keep serving others with pride and purpose.","fullyFundedDate":1747938463161,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-corner-students-promoting-we/9297295/","projectTitle":"Confidence Corner: Students Promoting Wellness Through Hair Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. N.
