They're available in my counseling office, and students use them often upon arrival, after gym, or simply when they want to feel refreshed and confident. One moment that stood out was a student who came in anxious before presenting in class. He used some of the grooming items, took a breath, and said, \"Okay... I feel better now.\" It may seem small, but for our kids, those small boosts make school feel more manageable.\r\n\r\nMany of my students don't always have consistent access to hygiene products at home, so seeing these items available and free of judgment meant a lot. A few students immediately grabbed items they needed and said thank you more times than I could count. You could see their shoulders drop, like a weight was lifted.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on social-emotional lessons focused on self-advocacy and personal wellness. These resources fit perfectly into that work because they help students feel prepared, dignified, and ready to engage. Our next steps include helping students build healthy routines, improve attendance, and develop confidence. Having these supplies available removes one more barrier that often gets in their way.","fullyFundedDate":1757547731444,"projectUrl":"project/dignity-in-a-drawer-supporting-student/9687670/","projectTitle":"Dignity In A Drawer: Supporting Student Hygiene","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3790840"},{"teacherId":10358155,"projectId":9911192,"letterContent":"Amazingly, we have already received the snacks made available because of this fundraiser!

The fidgets, motivational materials, snacks and sports items have a positive impact on the student's learning. Students feel valued and supported when they have special items that help them. We focus a lot on mindfulness and social emotional learning and when they have what they need they tend to work harder and feel supported in their learning. The snacks help to give them a break when they are hungry, and the fidgets and sports equipment allow them to have movement breaks which help their mental and physical well-being. \r\n\r\n The goal for our schools is to provide an alternative way of learning, while focusing on the required academics. These items play a big part in their continued support, and we are truly grateful.\r\n\r\n Your generosity is truly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1750092037535,"projectUrl":"project/students-in-need-need-your-support/9410418/","projectTitle":"Students in Need, Need Your Support","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spaulding","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055082_orig.jpg?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749838145143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10055082"},{"teacherId":9844925,"projectId":9219378,"letterContent":"The introduction of an iPad has greatly improved participation and engagement with classroom projects and activities such as poster boards.
