Creating Holiday Hampers for Students at School

Shaina Tranquilino

December 22, 2023

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and giving. It's an opportunity to spread love and happiness to others, especially those who may be in need. One way to make a difference in your school community is by creating holiday hampers for students. These hampers can provide much-needed support and bring smiles to the faces of those who receive them. In this blog post, we will explore the steps you can take to create holiday hampers for students at your school.

Step 1: Assess the needs Begin by assessing the needs of the students at your school. Reach out to teachers, counselors, or administrators who may have insights into which students might benefit from receiving holiday hampers. This step is crucial as it ensures that your efforts are directed towards those who truly need assistance during this festive season.

Step 2: Set goals and gather resources Once you have identified the students who would benefit from receiving holiday hampers, set specific goals for your project. Determine how many hampers you aim to create and what items should be included in each hamper. Consider reaching out to local businesses, organizations, or even fellow students' families for donations of food items, toiletries, clothing, toys, or any other essentials that could be included in the hampers.

Step 3: Organize a collection drive To gather the necessary resources for your holiday hampers, organize a collection drive within your school community. Spread awareness about your project through posters around the school building and announcements during morning assemblies. Encourage classmates, teachers, staff members, parents/guardians, and any other stakeholders associated with your school to donate items that can go into these hampers.

Step 4: Assemble the hampers Once you have collected all the necessary items for your holiday hampers, it's time to assemble them. Find a suitable space within your school where you can sort and organize the donated items. Create a checklist of essential items for each hamper, ensuring that they are well-balanced with food, toiletries, and any other necessary supplies. Involve volunteers from your school community to help with this process, making it a collaborative effort.

Step 5: Distribute the hampers The final step is distributing the holiday hampers to the students who will receive them. Work closely with teachers or counselors to ensure that the delivery is done discreetly and respectfully. Consider including personalized notes or cards in each hamper, spreading messages of love, support, and encouragement during the holiday season.

Remember, creating holiday hampers for students at school is not just about providing material goods but also about fostering a sense of belonging and care within your school community. It's an opportunity to show empathy, kindness, and compassion towards those in need during this festive time.

By following these steps - assessing needs, setting goals, gathering resources, organizing a collection drive, assembling the hampers, and distributing them thoughtfully - you can make a meaningful impact on the lives of students at your school. Let's come together as a community this holiday season and create moments of joy for those who may be facing challenges.

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

For those who don't know, the US Supreme Court just ruled that states are allowed to enforce trans healthcare for minors. Undoubtedly, this will trigger a wave of other states that either hope to pass or have already passed policies to do the same. This is going to kill children, and harm more in long-lasting ways.

So, how can you help?

FUCKING VOTE. I don't care if you don't like Biden, he's not the only one on the ballot. Vote representatives into your city council who will turn our city into a sanctuary city. Vote for governors and state reps who will, even if they don't pass new protections, oppose bans being pushed through. Chsllenge and kick out conservative incumbents who are banking on their races being obscure enough for people to not vote in.

Anyone telling you voting is useless is either lying to you or grossly uninformed and think saying this is the edgy new take that will make them look hip and informed. Yes, the system is broken. But short of burning the whole thing to the ground (which personally I'm not a fan of as I quite enjoy having like. Roads and the FDA) what we can do is to change it for the better, by starting with the local races and working our way up.

When you really think about it, Daniel Molloy being a vampire is objectively terrifying. This is a guy who, as a mortal:

- Followed a stranger to a second location in peak serial killer era California.

- Was down to fuck in a coffin.

- Was down for fangs in his neck.

- Consistently interviewed dangerous or powerful people and was antagonistic to them.

- Literally never stopped when on the hunt for a story to the point it destroyed his personal life.

- Got on a plane in the middle of a pandemic with a degenerative disease because the guy he barely remembers following to some place on Divisadero, who he knows is an immortal killing machine, is offering Daniel his story and this also means Daniel could get some clarity on his fucked up memory.

- Has a big fucking mouth. He will just say fucking anything regardless of it being inappropriate.

- Has a fantastic bullshit radar.

- Beat a professional gaslighter at 3D chess.

...and then said powerful 514yo gaslighter gives this man litres of his, essentially, untouched blood and makes him his fledgling? Like...INSANE.

Daniel is, no doubt, EXTREMELY powerful and with a personality type that will probably make him a good vampire. Absolutely terrifying...and hot. God I hope he's still "sun challenged."

I find it soo funny that when Edwin leaves Cat King in the woods he gets all upset and is like "Next time you see me I'm gonna be sooo mean and evil, ur gonna regret hurting my feelings so much",, and then the next time we do see him he's being all pathetic and sad about Edwin going to hell, girl get up
