The journals provided a safe space for the girls to reflect, express their thoughts, and process their emotions in a healthy way. Many students shared that writing helped them feel calmer, more confident, and more comfortable opening up during discussions. The snacks and hygiene items also helped meet basic needs, allowing students to feel cared for and supported, which created a welcoming and trusting environment where they could fully engage in the group.\r\n\r\nBecause of our donors' generosity, Girls Talk became more than just a meeting—it became a space where students felt valued, heard, and empowered. The supplies helped foster community, boost self-esteem, and encourage meaningful conversations around friendships, self-worth, and personal growth. These items removed barriers to participation and helped students show up as their best selves. We are incredibly grateful for the support, as it directly contributed to the social-emotional growth and confidence of our girls.","fullyFundedDate":1769638754314,"projectUrl":"project/girls-talk/10043993/","projectTitle":"Girls Talk","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Merriweather","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6877315_orig.png?crop=380,380,x142,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698341910220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6877315"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17137","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":939,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":49.5,"schoolId":17137,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mattie B Hambrick Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mattie B Hambrick Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/aldine-independent-school-district/mattie-b-hambrick-middle-school/17137"}
