Supplies, Snacks, and Beautification!
Funded Sep 7, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations to this project! It was incredible to have this project funded early this school year. This allowed me to establish my office as a space where students can come for a pen, a mask, hand sanitizer, or a snack.
So often, students in crisis can feel comfort from being given a whole pack of tissues to go. Some grab the calming tools I keep by the chairs in my office, occupying their hands as they discuss their concerns. These little gestures and materials are so simple yet effective in creating and maintaining relationships and support for students.
Other counselors have also benefitted from this project, using the materials purchased through this project and sharing hygiene and school supplies with students. At a giant school with almost 4,000 students, there is SO much need, and it makes a difference to have all counselors start to share that mindset of generosity and meeting basic needs first to let learning happen.
In this school year, I have already used so many of my supplies and I think of my donors each time I can share these with students. Thank you thank you thank you!”

Clean and Confident
Funded Dec 7, 2022Thank you again for your generous contribution to my project. With the hygiene supplies purchased, we were able to host a special classroom lesson about hygiene habits for our students with intellectual disabilities. The hygiene kits shared made the lesson exciting and allowed for a hands-on example of the basic daily hygiene supplies these teenagers need. Additionally, the counseling team has been able to share more kits, full-size deodorants, body wash, and period supplies as students have demonstrated a need for these items. In a school of over 3,000 students, there is always a need for these items and I am grateful that we now have them on hand.
Whether you were an anonymous donor, a friend, or a family member, I can't express how much I appreciate having this project funded in my first year as a counselor. Meeting the basic needs of cleanliness allows students to be treated with dignity and go through their day with confidence.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 34 other donors.Sanitizing and Snacking!
Funded Sep 17, 2021This fall has been made so much easier with setting up my sanitizing station and having snacks on hand! Several students have expressed their gratitude that they know they can come to my room, switch out their mask, get a wipe for their desk or phone, and get a snack if they're hungry. One student in particular asked why every classroom doesn't have this setup, because it would help make our whole school feel more comfortable. I agree.
Thank you SO much for your donations and keeping my students healthy and happy. It has made a huge difference. Lots of love to you all.”
