It is such a relief not having to worry about having the supplies our students need. Our emergency equipment is up to date and organized, along with our first aid supplies. \r\n\r\nOne of the most needed items, especially at the beginning of the school year is clean underwear. Our littlest students and students who are new to the school are often nervous about asking to use the bathroom in their new environment and tend to have frequent accidents. Having a fully stocked supply of underwear in all sizes makes for a quick, easy return to class.","fullyFundedDate":1746785862517,"projectUrl":"project/a-well-stocked-school-clinic/9294606/","projectTitle":"A Well Stocked School Clinic","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hogan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9205673_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1791059081640","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9205673"},{"teacherId":8496232,"projectId":9933300,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom.
