Advisory Classroom Wellness and Joy Supplies

Funded Sep 26, 2024

When our boxes first arrived, my students were so excited and grateful.

On the most basic level, the snacks we received have helped sustain my advisees through many days this semester. Having a full stomach really helps them focus and stay positive in afternoon classes. Meanwhile, our new fridge has allowed students to bring nourishing food from home. It has also been useful when we have advisory potlucks.

The board games in our package have been especially popular. It happened that this fall is also when our school implemented Yondr pouches (that lock students' phones), so having alternative fun activities has been wonderful for student engagement and bonding. My advisees have gotten to know each other through Tapple, Heads Up, and more, building fun memories as they compete.

Finally, the markers and folders and other school supplies have facilitated student organization and joy. Some of the markers are specific for windows and have allowed us to decorate our classroom in a really special and unique way!

I speak for both myself and my students when I say we really appreciate the generosity of our donors. The positive impact of their contributions is clear.”
