Because of your generosity, my health office was stocked with hygiene supplies that have already made a meaningful difference for so many children. These aren't just deodorants and wipes. They've become tools that help restore confidence, preserve dignity, and remind students that they're cared for.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest ways these supplies helped was during our end-of-the-year Field Day. After spending hours outside running, playing games, and enjoying the warm weather, many students stopped by the health office to freshen up before heading home. Thanks to your generosity, I was able to offer body wipes, baby wipes, and deodorant to students who wanted to clean up after all the fun. It may seem like a small gesture, but seeing their smiles and renewed confidence before they left for the day reminded me just how much these everyday items matter.\r\n\r\nThroughout this past school year, these supplies gave me the opportunity to support students who may not have regular access to hygiene products at home or who are just beginning to experience the changes that come with growing up. My office has become a safe, judgment-free place where students know they can ask for help without feeling embarrassed. Every time a child leaves my office feeling more comfortable and confident, I'm reminded that kindness often comes in the smallest packages.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done so much more than provide hygiene supplies. You've helped create a space where students feel respected, supported, and cared for. Thank you for investing in my students and helping me ensure every child has the opportunity to walk back into the classroom or head home feeling clean, confident, and ready to take on the day. I am truly grateful for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1772550372025,"projectUrl":"project/clean-confident-and-cared-for/9933870/","projectTitle":"Clean, Confident, and Cared For","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nurse Shirley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9735346_orig.jpg?crop=1229,1229,x47,y60&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733445143967","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nurse-shirley"},{"teacherId":4939486,"projectId":10164082,"letterContent":"It has been an amazing experience to witness the children putting so much thought, love and care into creating special presents for their parents and guardians.

The shredder you provided is now used daily to securely dispose of documents that contain sensitive student information, allowing me to maintain privacy while staying on top of the constant flow of paperwork that comes through a busy school day. What used to pile up as clutter is now handled quickly and appropriately, helping me focus more on what matters most, caring for our students.\r\n\r\nWhen I first introduced the shredder, students were immediately curious and excited. Many of them had never seen one in action, and it turned into a meaningful learning moment. I was able to talk with them about the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to personal and health information. Even at a young age, they began to understand that their information is important and deserves to be protected. It sparked conversations about responsibility and trust, which are such valuable lessons beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, I am able to run a more professional, organized, and student-centered nurse's office. This has allowed me to create a calmer environment where students feel safe, respected, and cared for. Moving forward, I will continue to build on this foundation by reinforcing lessons around privacy, responsibility, and respect for shared spaces. Your support has made a lasting impact not just on how I manage my office, but on how my students understand the importance of caring for themselves and others.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible and for investing in the well-being and dignity of every child I serve.","fullyFundedDate":1745376233010,"projectUrl":"project/from-clutter-to-confidential-a-shredder/9260289/","projectTitle":"From Clutter to Confidential: A Shredder Story","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nurse Shirley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9735346_orig.jpg?crop=1229,1229,x47,y60&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733445143967","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nurse-shirley"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91566","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":562,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":47.3,"schoolId":91566,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Asa Messer Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Asa Messer Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/providence-public-school-district/asa-messer-elementary-school/91566"}
