Our latest report:
We have a high school student that others have a hard time being around because of his hygiene. He shared about his housing situation with his teacher and our nurse, and it was heart-wrenching. As you know, many of our kids have poor hygiene and living conditions and suffer the consequences at school when so much of it is out of their control because of decisions their parents are making. Our nurse and special education director had a heart-to-heart with this student about things he could do. He agreed to take a shower at school in the gym locker room. Our SPED director went to Target and purchased toiletries and new clothes to keep at school for him so that he could shower and get dressed here before going to class.
About two weeks ago, a middle school teacher approached me about another student that stood out to him in class. I love when our male teachers are able to have these conversations with our male students because they need that sort of role model in their lives. Mr. Baker was able to purchase hygiene supplies for this student- but the best part was that it didn’t just come as a handout. He actually built a relationship with this student and it was evident to him that it was done out of love and not pity.
