It can mean having deodorant before P.E., a snack to get through the afternoon, or tissues when they're feeling under the weather. By removing the barrier of asking or explaining, the cart empowers students to quietly and confidently take what they need without fear of embarrassment.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been powerful:\r\n\r\nStudents who once felt stressed or distracted are now able to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, students have shared that the cart makes them feel \"seen, cared for, and included.\"\r\n\r\nThis project is about more than just supplies—it's about dignity, belonging, and building a culture of compassion in our school.
