The snacks and hygiene products have already made a noticeable difference in our daily routines and in how students respond throughout the day. \r\n\r\nThe snacks serve a dual purpose. They are available for students who come to school hungry or need a quick boost of energy, and they are also used as positive reinforcements for meeting behavior and academic goals. Having access to these small but meaningful incentives has helped students stay motivated and engaged especially those who respond best to immediate feedback and encouragement. \r\n\r\nThe hygiene products have been equally impactful. There are times when a student might need a deodorant wipe after PE, a toothbrush after breakfast, or a quick way to fix their hair before class. In the past, I had no way to offer those things. Now, I can quietly provide what they need without embarrassment or disruption, allowing them to feel more comfortable and confident at school. \r\n\r\nThis project has made my workspace feel like a safe and supportive stop for students who just need a moment to reset and take care of themselves. It has also helped build trust, since students know they can come for help without judgement. I could not have provided these resources on my own, and I am deeply grateful for the generosity that made it possible.","fullyFundedDate":1761953063348,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-and-care-supporting-students/9727457/","projectTitle":"Confidence and Care: Supporting Students' Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sabrina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9716430_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725286856072","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9716430"},{"teacherId":9912314,"projectId":9088692,"letterContent":"On behalf of my 5th grade students at Patriot Elementary, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom economy auctions.
