Your contributions have allowed me to provide essential personal hygiene items, including menstrual products and deodorant, as well as candy to use as incentives for positive behavior, academic achievement, and classroom participation. These resources have helped me create a more supportive, comfortable, and encouraging learning environment where students can focus on their education without worrying about having access to basic necessities.\r\n\r\nProviding personal hygiene products has been especially meaningful because it allows students to maintain their personal hygiene with dignity and confidence. Having these items readily available in our classroom helps ensure that students have access to necessities when they need them. Additionally, the candy incentives have provided an opportunity to recognize students for their hard work, positive choices, and academic progress. These small rewards help reinforce the importance of effort, responsibility, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I plan to continue using these resources to promote student confidence, encourage positive classroom behavior, and celebrate academic growth. As an educator, I believe that meeting students' basic needs is an important part of helping them succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Your kindness has helped me support my students beyond academics, and I am truly grateful for your investment in their well-being and success. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1788021941094,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-care/10538481/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8625747_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752452787723","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8625747"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132435","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":434,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":91,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":132435,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carver Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carver Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/meridian-public-school-district/carver-elementary-school/132435"}
