What made this experience especially meaningful was watching students take leadership roles creating kits, organizing supplies, and brainstorming ways to make the kits feel thoughtful and respectful for the people receiving them.

For some students, having something small to eat helps them regulate their mood and stay engaged in learning. The hand lotion has also been a big help, especially during the colder months when dry skin becomes uncomfortable and distracting. Students appreciate having access to something that helps them feel physically comfortable during the school day.\r\n\r\nWhen students saw these items available, they felt cared for and supported.
