Your donation has made a tremendous difference in the lives of our students, and I am thrilled to share the positive impact it has had.\r\n\r\nWith your support, we were able to provide sensory tools, new seating options, and snacks for our students, all of which have made a significant impact on their well-being, focus, and engagement in learning.\r\n\r\nThe sensory tools have allowed students to better self-regulate, reduce anxiety, and focus during lessons. Many of our students struggle with sensory processing issues, and these resources have provided a calm and safe way to manage overwhelming situations. Students who previously had difficulty staying engaged are now able to participate more fully in class activities and interact with their peers more effectively.\r\n\r\nThe new seating options have provided our students with a more comfortable and flexible learning environment. Having a variety of seating choices, such as stability balls, flexible stools, and cushioned seating, has allowed students to select the option that best suits their learning style. This has led to increased focus, better posture, and more active participation in lessons. Our classroom is now a space where every student can learn in the way that works best for them.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have been equally impactful. For many of our students, having a snack available during the school day has made a huge difference in their ability to stay focused and energized. The snacks not only meet their physical needs but also show them that they are cared for and valued. For students who often come to school hungry, these snacks provide a sense of security and comfort, which enhances their emotional well-being.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our classroom is a place where every child feels supported and empowered to succeed. Your generosity has provided more than just physical resources; it has fostered a sense of community and care that will stay with these students for years to come.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of all the students and staff, thank you again for your thoughtful donation. Your support has made a lasting impact on their lives, and we are forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1727730965979,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-sensory-and-seatingoh-my/8754094/","projectTitle":"Snacks, Sensory, and Seating…Oh My!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9739409"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35140","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":543,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.5,"schoolId":35140,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bradley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bradley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-bernardino-city-unified-school-district/bradley-elementary-school/35140"}
