Your donation has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students at our Title I school, where access to basic hygiene items isn't always guaranteed. Thanks to you, our students now have the tools to care for themselves in ways that build confidence, dignity, and readiness to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen the hygiene kits arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were genuinely grateful to receive items like toothbrushes, deodorant, and soap — things many of us take for granted. One student quietly said, \"I've never had my own toothpaste before,\" and held it like a treasure. Another shared that having deodorant made him feel less nervous about being around classmates. These moments reminded me that learning starts with feeling safe and cared for, and your support helped make that possible.\r\n\r\nWe've used this opportunity to talk about hygiene in age-appropriate ways, reinforcing the importance of self-care and personal responsibility. Students have shown more confidence in themselves and more awareness of how to take care of their bodies. I've noticed small but powerful changes — better attendance, more engagement, and a sense of pride that wasn't there before. One parent told me, \"My child comes home talking about brushing teeth and washing hands like it's the coolest thing ever.\" That kind of enthusiasm is a direct result of your generosity.\r\n\r\nThis project has been a reminder that small acts of kindness can lead to big changes. You didn't just donate supplies — you gave our students the chance to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Thank you for believing in our kids and helping us create a healthier, more confident classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1753109950359,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-through-cleanliness-supporti/9474501/","projectTitle":"Confidence Through Cleanliness: Supporting Student Self-Care","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Provost","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10082659_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753111307882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10082659"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10092","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":512,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.4,"schoolId":10092,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elmore Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elmore Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/b-c-elmore-middle-school/10092"}
