Your commitment has given students a safe and supportive space to manage stress, regulate emotions, and refocus on learning. For many students navigating the academic and social challenges of middle school, the Calm Room has become an essential resource.\r\n\r\nSince its implementation, the Calm Room has helped students practice coping skills such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and grounding techniques. Staff have observed that students often return to class calmer, more focused, and better prepared to engage, contributing to fewer disruptions and improved classroom behavior. The space has also supported proactive emotional regulation rather than reactive disciplinary responses.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the Calm Room communicates to students that their mental health matters. It provides a sense of safety, dignity, and care that helps students feel seen and supported. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in the daily lives of our students, and we are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1763152607721,"projectUrl":"project/be-the-reason-a-student-finds-peace-toda/9559347/","projectTitle":"Be the Reason a Student Finds Peace Today!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nealy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9872273_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y256&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754758198756","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bcms-ssw"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55380","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":971,"numTeachers":83,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":84,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.5,"schoolId":55380,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bear Creek Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bear Creek Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/fulton-county-school-district/bear-creek-middle-school/55380"}
