We use them to support student confidence, attendance, and overall well-being. In the school setting, I have been able to discreetly provide kits to students when needed, which has helped reduce embarrassment and allowed them to remain engaged in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stands out is when a student came to me feeling uncomfortable and distracted due to not having access to hygiene products. After receiving a kit, the student was able to return to class with increased confidence and focus. This small but impactful support helped restore dignity in a moment where they might have otherwise felt self-conscious or disengaged.\r\n\r\nThese resources have also opened the door for broader conversations around self-care, wellness, and support systems. They have strengthened my ability to meet students' basic needs, which directly supports their readiness to learn and succeed academically and socially.","fullyFundedDate":1735700065682,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-kits-supporting-student-hygi/9015500/","projectTitle":"Confidence Kits: Supporting Student Hygiene Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Coach E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9386159_orig.jpg?crop=1043,1043,x0,y90&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776964468581","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coache44"},{"teacherId":5732501,"projectId":9070139,"letterContent":"With your generous donations para-professionals and myself were able to make math intervention bags for students to use.
