Because of you, our counseling office received much-needed materials including mental health counseling workbooks, fidgets, and calming office decor.\r\n\r\nThe counseling workbooks have already become a key part of our mandated counseling curriculum. They've provided structure and meaningful activities that help students better understand and express their thoughts and emotions. It's made a noticeable difference in how engaged and reflective they are during our sessions.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets have also been incredibly helpful, particularly during one-on-one and group counseling. They've given students a healthy outlet for anxiety and restlessness, making it easier for them to focus and open up during difficult conversations.\r\n\r\nLastly, the office decor has created a more welcoming and calming space for students—a small but powerful change that makes them feel safe and supported as soon as they walk in.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is having a direct impact on our students' emotional well-being, and I'm so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1726605246311,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-squishies-and-fidgets/8685038/","projectTitle":"Snacks, Squishies, and Fidgets!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cameron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8707875"},{"teacherId":9736941,"projectId":8956016,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom!
