The look on my students' faces- when they saw our new classroom look- was priceless!! We went over expectations and when it is necessary to use the calm down corner. They are very respectful and gentle with the new items! One student has needed to use it. He was getting stressed out, he set the timer for 5 minutes and just cooled off in the corner, using the fidget toys. Once the minutes were up, he walked back to his seat. \r\n\r\nThe seat cushions came in handy for when I have extra students in my classroom during reading RTI and when they can work around the room! \r\n\r\nThank you all, again, for giving my students a safe space in our classroom to regulate emotions.","fullyFundedDate":1748912560962,"projectUrl":"project/calm-down-corner/9391413/","projectTitle":"Calm Down Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lindhurst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10048559_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748889275524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10048559"},{"teacherId":9883229,"projectId":9019506,"letterContent":"On behalf of the Dry Ridge Elementary Archery Team, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations that provided our team with bow cases and arrow tubes. Your support has made a tremendous impact on our athletes and their overall experience in the sport.\r\nThanks to your contributions, our archers can now focus on their performance during tournaments rather than the logistical challenges of transporting equipment from the parking lot to the range. The bow cases and arrow tubes have given our students the ability to safely carry and store their equipment, allowing them to take their bows home for extra practice. This has been a game-changer for our team, providing them with the resources needed to improve their skills and dedication to the sport.\r\nSince the beginning of the season, our team has grown by over 900 points! With our continued hard work and the support we have received, we have qualified for the State Tournament and the Eastern National Tournament in May. We are setting our sights even higher, hoping to qualify for the National Tournament in June.\r\nYour generosity has played a direct role in our success, and we cannot thank you enough for believing in our students and their potential. Every arrow shot, every target hit, and every milestone reached is a testament to the kindness and encouragement of donors like you.\r\nThank you for your unwavering support—it truly makes a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1735680382876,"projectUrl":"project/archery-team-equipment-hit-a-bullseye/9019506/","projectTitle":"Archery Team Equipment: Hit a Bullseye, Keeping Our Equipment Safe!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cardin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9883229_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1735249210517","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9883229"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58064","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":381,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":73.8,"schoolId":58064,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dry Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dry Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/grant-county-school-district/dry-ridge-elementary-school/58064"}
