The personal care items are kept in a discreet, accessible area of the room, and students are able to take what they need without having to ask or feel uncomfortable. I've seen students quietly grab deodorant before a presentation, hygiene products before the school day continues, or tissues and basic supplies when they're feeling under the weather—small moments that make a huge difference in confidence and focus.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the items, their reactions ranged from surprise to visible relief. Several students expressed gratitude, and others simply smiled, knowing someone cared enough to think ahead for them.\r\n\r\nBecause of this support, students are more focused and present during lessons. Our next steps are continuing to build a classroom culture where students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn—because when students' basic needs are met, real learning can happen.","fullyFundedDate":1738776261536,"projectUrl":"project/replenish-the-essentials/9086664/","projectTitle":"Replenish The Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rippole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8930172_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673881818001","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8930172"},{"teacherId":211653,"projectId":9913939,"letterContent":"This is an amazing gift to receive during concert season.
