They had never experienced people caring so much about their well-being outside of the school day. For some, I could see their face light up, knowing that they would not go without basic necessities this year. This alone was enough for me to feel as though this project was a success.\r\n\r\nI plan to continue my take what you need closet throughout the remainder of my years of teaching.
