Your generosity has had a meaningful impact on our students and their understanding of health and personal care during a critical stage in their development.\r\n\r\nWe used the hygiene kits during our Human Growth and Development unit, which helps students learn about their changing bodies, self-care, and overall wellness. Each kit included toiletries such as deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and other essentials. These were not just supplies—they were confidence-boosters and conversation starters.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first received the materials, their reactions were priceless. Many lit up with excitement and curiosity, eagerly exploring the contents of their kits. One student even said with excitement, \"I got deodorant!\" That moment reinforced just how important this project was not just academically, but personally.\r\n\r\nOur students will be moving on to middle school in a few short weeks. The supplies that enhanced their educational experience in the elementary setting will help them better prepare themselves for the transition to middle school. Prioritizing more independence with self care, well being, and overall hygiene.\r\n\r\nYour contribution gave my students more than supplies; you gave them a sense of dignity, confidence, and readiness to take care of themselves. Thank you for being part of our learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1743655165620,"projectUrl":"project/5th-grade-kits/9213936/","projectTitle":"5th Grade Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Autum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9985042"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43114","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":278,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":20,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":15,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":25.4,"schoolId":43114,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Russian Jack Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Russian Jack Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/anchorage-school-district/russian-jack-elementary-school/43114"}
