  • Empty Snack Drawer Means Empty Focus

    Funded Jan 5, 2025

    My students have been using the new resources in such meaningful ways! One specific moment that stands out is when a student walked into my office, grabbed a small snack, and said, "This is the first time I've felt comfortable in a school space like this." Many of my students come from backgrounds where they haven't always had access to resources like these, so having a place where they can regulate, grab a snack, and feel supported has been truly impactful.

    When my students first saw the materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and gratitude. Many couldn't believe that there were people out there who cared enough to donate and support their success. Several students have told me that my office feels like a second home, a space where they can express themselves, feel safe, and take a moment to reset when needed.

    As we move forward, these resources will continue to play a huge role in supporting my students academically and emotionally. The next steps include ensuring that they are using this space effectively to recharge so they can stay focused in class. These small but meaningful supports help them regulate their emotions, manage stress, and ultimately perform better in their academics. Thank you for making this possible, your generosity is truly making a difference!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Orozco

Many of my students come from low-income households and face a range of personal challenges, including trauma, the need to work, and sometimes neglecting basic needs like eating. These factors can make it difficult for them to focus on their academic success. My goal is to create a supportive environment where they feel safe, valued, and motivated to succeed, despite the obstacles they may face outside of school.
