Our classroom \"Take What You Need\" station has become such an important part of our daily routine, and I honestly cannot express how much of an impact it has had on my students. The station provides everyday essentials such as socks, feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, hair ties, deodorant, soap, snacks, and other items that students may need throughout the day.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher in an inner-city middle school, I see firsthand how much these seemingly small necessities can impact a student's day. My students use this station almost every single day, and I am so grateful that I can provide them with what they need without them ever having to feel embarrassed or ask in front of others. Some students even stop by my classroom in the morning just to grab a granola bar because they haven't had breakfast. Others come in for hygiene products or a fresh pair of socks. Being able to say \"of course!\" and give them what they need without hesitation means more to me than I can put into words.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this station so special is that it allows students to take care of their needs with dignity, comfort, and privacy. They know my classroom is a safe place where they can get what they need without questions or judgment.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made it possible for me to show my students that they are cared for, supported, and deserving of the little things that make a big difference. This project has impacted so many lives, and I truly could not have done it without you. Thank you for seeing the importance of these everyday essentials and for investing in my students, not just as learners, but as people. I am beyond grateful! ❤️","fullyFundedDate":1786150256878,"projectUrl":"project/take-what-you-need-classroom-care-statio/10377626/","projectTitle":"Take What You Need Classroom Care Station","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Monaghan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10550192_orig.jpg?crop=724,724,x438,y790&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784055123998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10550192"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83995","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":784,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"22.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":83995,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dominion Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dominion Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/columbus-city-school-district/dominion-middle-school/83995"}
