Your generosity and the incredible support made a real difference in their daily learning experience.\r\nWith the essential supplies you helped provide; hand sanitizer, bulletin board decorations, replacement headphones, a classroom mic, and snacks—I was able to create a more engaging and inclusive environment. The microphone allowed me to move freely around the room while teaching, ensuring every student could hear clearly without me having to raise my voice. The headphones supported digital learning, especially for students who rely on online resources. And the snacks helped meet a basic need for students who came to school hungry, allowing them to focus better and feel cared for.\r\nThis project impacted my students by improving their focus, boosting their confidence, and showing them that their learning environment matters.

They created custom gift bags, carefully selecting items such as candy, toys, and packaging. Each student calculated the unit cost of materials, factored in labor, and determined the total cost of goods. From there, they identified their target market, set a selling price, and computed their profit margins.\r\nThis project gave students a real-world experience in pricing, budgeting, and marketing—skills that are essential for future entrepreneurs.

It was amazing to see everyone's creativity come to life, and the confidence it gave our students was priceless.\r\n\r\nWhen we first received the materials, the excitement was unmeasurable. Students were smiling, asking questions, and couldn't wait to start practicing. For many of them, it was the first time using salon-quality tools. Unpacking all of the amazing products made them feel like real professionals. Beyond the materials, your support instilled a deeper sense of purpose and professionalism in our students.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're beginning to offer free basic services to staff and students.

Students have been able to pick up deodorant, toothpaste, and other hygiene items before heading into class or their internships, and the boost in confidence is noticeable. Instead of worrying about small but critical needs, they can focus their energy on their learning and on showing up as their best selves. The Closet has become a space of dignity, comfort, and support—all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue to connect students with these essential resources as part of our ongoing High School Closet project.
