COMPLETE CARE FOR GROWING MINDS: ESSENTIAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

Funded Dec 20, 2023

We've integrated the new resources seamlessly into our daily routine. For instance, during our morning meetings, we discussed the importance of personal hygiene and how it contributes to overall well-being. To demonstrate, we used the lotion and chapstick, showing students how to apply them properly and emphasizing the importance of taking care of their skin, especially during colder months. This hands-on activity not only educated them but also made them feel nurtured and valued.

When my students first laid eyes on the materials, their reactions were priceless. They were genuinely excited and grateful, especially for items like socks and mittens, which many of them may not have had access to before. Seeing their smiles and hearing their expressions of thanks affirmed the impact these donations have on their lives.

With the support of our generous donors, our next steps involve incorporating these resources into a broader lesson on self-care and hygiene. We plan to create interactive stations where students can learn about proper hygiene. Additionally, we'll discuss the importance of staying fresh and confident by using the deodorant provided, empowering our students with essential life skills while instilling a sense of gratitude for the thoughtful contributions that enhance their learning environment.”

With gratitude,
