Mental Health Breaks Need Support
Funded Aug 12, 2024We sincerely thank you for the generous donations. Many of my students are living in unstable housing and living situations. The snacks are extremely helpful to supplement during the day, as we know, when young people are hungry it is difficult to concentrate in school and learn properly. These snacks are crucial when some students are depending on the school breakfast and lunch but need extra nourishment.
In addition, the SEL books and bean bag chairs add comfort to my office where students can take breaks, learn to regulate emotions and receive emotional support. These materials are invaluable to supporting my students' well-being. Thank you for helping us to support the needs of our young people.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org Teen Mental Health Initiative.A Full Stomach and Essential Clothing Helps Our Students Learn!
Funded Dec 13, 2023The resources provided with this project were immensely appreciated and invaluable for our many students who benefited from receiving various food items and undergarments. Many of the students at our high school experience unstable housing and limited access to food and clothing. The food and undergarments brought great joy to our students and their families as they could choose from the various items at the school store.
The BIHS Boutique & Pantry enables students to 'shop' for items that are necessary and needed. The items received with this project have enabled me to stock the shelves for our weekly open hours and our as-needed hours for students to peruse the inventory and choose from food and clothing they can take home. The benefits a student can experience when they bring home nutritious food items or clean, new, underwear and socks is immense. Having these items supports not only students' physical health but their mental health as well. I can not thank you all enough for the donations that made this project possible. I hope to be able to continue to support the BIHS Boutique & Pantry with the help of generous donors like yourselves.”

A Full Stomach and Clean Body Help Us Learn!
Funded Sep 24, 2020I am so grateful for all of your generous donations. This is my first Donor's Choose project and I am emotional and my heart is warm, just thinking of all the people who care about our students and their well-being. These simple, basic products will give my students energy and nutrition and also help alleviate the stress of having to spend precious dollars on necessities. The pandemic has affected so many of my students' families incomes and I am so happy I can now provide them with some basic necessities to help them concentrate a bit more on learning rather than on how to find the money to purchase these types of products. I can't thank you enough!”
With gratitude,
