Many of them could not believe these products were free and available to them through school. This project did more than provide supplies. It gave students a sense of dignity, care, and belonging. Having access to basic hygiene and grooming items helped reinforce that their well-being matters and that they deserve to feel confident and prepared each day.\r\n\r\nThe students were especially excited because these were products they could actually use in their everyday lives. The items felt practical, immediate, and relevant. As we handed them out, we also had important conversations about personal hygiene, self-respect, and health, including why personal items such as nail clippers and other grooming tools should not be shared. These were meaningful lessons that connected directly to their daily experiences and helped students think more intentionally about caring for themselves.\r\n\r\nThis project also opened the door to deeper conversations about confidence, self-image, and how young people are viewed in the world. For many of our Black and Brown students, these discussions were especially important. We talked about how they are often held to unfair standards and judged more harshly than their peers, and how caring for themselves can be a way to show pride, self-worth, and strength. Your generosity gave our students more than products. It reminded them that they are worthy of care, support, and investment.","fullyFundedDate":1768354111482,"projectUrl":"project/shaping-confidence-one-grooming-kit-at/9791828/","projectTitle":"Shaping Confidence, One Grooming Kit at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Romyl De la Llana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9743287_orig.jpg?crop=2062,2062,x0,y866&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737615538347","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743287"},{"teacherId":9743287,"projectId":9110943,"letterContent":"We are deeply grateful for your generous donation, which has had a profoundly meaningful impact on our school community. Thanks to your support, our students now have access to a well-organized, clean, and welcoming bulletin board in the Wellness Center. This space has become a vital hub for sharing important updates, upcoming events, job and internship opportunities, and valuable wellness resources. Students now know exactly where to look for information, and it's already helping them stay connected and informed in ways that are supportive and accessible.\r\n\r\nWhen our students first saw the updated bulletin board, their reactions were filled with curiosity and appreciation. They help decorate the wellness area, allowing students to create their own \"Bulletin Board\". It's become more than just a board—it's a connection point. In addition to event flyers, we have also added brochures and pamphlets on mental health, social-emotional learning, and community activities to help students feel more empowered and supported.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using the board as a dynamic space for student engagement. We plan to rotate themes, spotlight student voices, and feature local resources and organizations relevant to our youth. Your contribution has planted a seed that will continue to grow throughout the year—and for that, we sincerely thank you.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nRomyl De la Llana\r\nSchool Social Worker\r\nCivic Center Secondary School","fullyFundedDate":1740515091838,"projectUrl":"project/promoting-wellness-services/9110943/","projectTitle":"Promoting Wellness Services","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Romyl De la Llana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9743287_orig.jpg?crop=2062,2062,x0,y866&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737615538347","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743287"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68369","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":83,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":3,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.9,"schoolId":68369,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Civic Center Secondary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Civic Center Secondary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/-county-run-/civic-center-school/68369"}
