The cozy beanbags, calming egg chairs, and inviting couch instantly created a space where everyone felt safe, welcome, and ready to recharge. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of fifth graders walk in after a challenging morning, they immediately gravitated toward the soft seating and began using the mindfulness tools we introduced, like breathing exercises and sensory items. Within minutes, their energy shifted from tense to calm, and they returned to class more focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThese resources are already making a difference in our daily routines. Teachers are using the space for brief reset breaks with students who need a moment to regulate their emotions, while small groups participate in social-emotional learning activities here. The wellness center has also become a safe place for teachers to take a moment for themselves, ensuring they can return to their classrooms refreshed and present for their students.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to incorporate structured SEL lessons in the wellness center, including mindfulness games, guided meditation, and coping skill practice. Our goal is to make this space a cornerstone of our school's culture, a place where students and staff learn that caring for mental and emotional health is just as important as academic success. Your generosity has given us the tools to make this vision a reality, and we cannot thank you enough for investing in the well-being of our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1731940520778,"projectUrl":"project/my-safe-and-calming-space/8539594/","projectTitle":"My Safe and Calming Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Santillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9619733"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77253","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":519,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.3,"schoolId":77253,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hazel M Bailey Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hazel M Bailey Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/firebaugh-las-deltas-unified-school-district/hazel-m-bailey-primary-school/77253"}
