Helping Students Meet Basic Needs With Food and Clothing

Funded Feb 6, 2024

Thank you for your donation of snacks and clothing to the Health Room. When we initially received the packages, students were overjoyed and excited to see the Health Room stocked again. Our clothing bin and snack drawers were finally full again after several months. Within a few weeks, the clothing (especially pants) were used up by students. For those that needed an extra pair or two at home, it has provided much needed relief knowing that they can come to school with clean clothing or has access to it at school. This has also helped to improve their attendance, by giving them the motivation to come or remain at school.

The snacks have also been helpful and I was able to distribute it to different areas in the building such as the front office and to our administrators. This has especially helped students who missed breakfast or needed a mid-morning snack to get through the day. Our students and staff are grateful that we have such a supportive community to help schools like us thrive and help our students overcome any barriers that can impact their academic success.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Sophie
