Together, these items support students' physical well-being, emotional comfort, and readiness to learn.\r\n\r\nCleaning supplies (such as soap, deodorant, laundry detergent, and disinfecting items) help students maintain personal hygiene and clean clothing. This directly contributes to warmth care by ensuring our students can wear clean, dry garments that provide proper insulation, especially during colder months. Access to hygiene products also promotes health, prevents illness, and reduces embarrassment or stigma, allowing our students to focus on school rather than unmet basic needs.\r\n\r\nClothing items (including warm layers, socks, hoodies, or jackets) are essential for protecting students from cold temperatures both at school and outside of school hours. Proper clothing helps regulate body temperature, reduces the risk of illness, and increases overall comfort. When students are physically warm, they are more likely to remain engaged, attentive, and present in the classroom.\r\n\r\nSnacks address hunger by providing quick, reliable nutrition throughout the school day. Many of our high school students go long hours between meals or may not have consistent access to food at home. Healthy snacks help stabilize energy levels, improve concentration, and support academic performance. In the context of warmth care, food also helps fuel the body, supporting internal warmth and overall physical functioning.\r\n\r\nCollectively, providing cleaning supplies, clothing, and snacks helps create a supportive, equitable environment where students feel cared for, comfortable, and ready to learn. Meeting these basic needs is a critical step in promoting our student success, attendance, and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1768670029033,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-wellness-meeting-nee/10024902/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Wellness: Meeting Needs for Warmth, Care, and Hunger","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fiori","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8036750_orig.jpg?crop=440,439,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1665507990739","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8036750"},{"teacherId":6395369,"projectId":9965484,"letterContent":"On behalf of our high school band students, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution toward a snare drum case, trumpet case, and professional triangle clip.
