The Care Closet at Reynolds Middle School: recently received a $2,500 EmpowerEd grant from the Horace Mann Mann Educators Foundation to help enhance student attendance, well-being and academic performance. The CARE Closet will be stocked with supplies the students need that they may not otherwise have access to every day. This includes basic hygiene products, food staples and other essential household items to support students who may not have consistent access to these items.
"When any Reynolds Middle School student does not have access to basic items like deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, or clean clothes, it can impede their learning.” said Lakeesha Bair-Myers LCSW, and certified Social Worker at Reynolds Middle School.
Furthermore, “Lack of access to these basics can undermine confidence, contribute to bullying or lead to absenteeism and social-emotional distress. Our CARE Closet allows students to get the items they need without any fear or judgement. This grant will truly make a difference for many students.”
Bair-Myers said the CARE Closet supports 150-200 students and their families each school year by providing these basic, essential items.
Congratulations Reynolds Raiders!
