This initiative was designed to provide essential items, including deodorant, underwear, socks, toothbrushes, and various personal hygiene products, all of which play a crucial role in students' daily lives.\r\n\r\nThroughout this project, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, which has resulted in a remarkable outpouring of donations that have far surpassed our initial expectations. The staff members have expressed their genuine surprise and deep appreciation for this support, recognizing that it has been instrumental to the successful implementation of the initiative.\r\n\r\nThe collected items have been effectively distributed, ensuring students can access the basic hygiene supplies. This accessibility has created a more comfortable environment, encouraging students to feel secure enough to ask for help when necessary. This shift in mindset represents a significant breakthrough in addressing the often-taboo topic of personal hygiene and the stigma that students may feel about needing assistance.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the program has proven to be particularly advantageous for students who experience accidents during school hours. The availability of clean clothing and personal hygiene items has lessened the burden on students and their families, especially in situations where immediate solutions are not feasible. We have contributed to a more conducive learning environment by alleviating these concerns.\r\n\r\nIn summary, the successful completion of the DCSA Care Closet, or \"Wolfie Care Spot,\" has profoundly impacted our students' overall well-being. This initiative has fostered a sense of security and care within the educational setting, allowing students to focus on their studies without the distraction of unmet personal needs. Moving forward, we will continue to monitor the program's effectiveness and welcome feedback to evaluate its long-term impact, ensuring that we maintain and further develop this crucial support effort.","fullyFundedDate":1734954956837,"projectUrl":"project/care-closet/8997406/","projectTitle":"Care Closet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clarke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9868997"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99589","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":1,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":56,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"501.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.9,"schoolId":99589,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Duval Charter Scholars Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Duval Charter Scholars Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/duval-county-public-schools/duval-charter-school-of-arlington/99589"}
