Kenwood K-8 Center

🌸💗 A huge thank you to Troop 2701 for giving our Middle School Girls' Restroom a beautiful makeover! 💗🌸

More than just a refresh, this project was created with care, compassion, and our students in mind. The space has been stocked with essential feminine hygiene products, personal care items, and encouraging messages to help ensure that every girl feels supported, confident, and cared for throughout the school day.

At Kenwood, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Thank you, Troop 2701, for creating a welcoming space where our students know they are valued, respected, and empowered.

Together, we continue building a community rooted in Excellence. Community. Pride. ❤️🖤🤍
