Thanks to your kindness, my students had the incredible opportunity to engage in hands-on, therapeutic activities that helped them grow not just academically, but emotionally and creatively as well. \r\n\r\nWith the materials you helped provide, we created beautiful Mason jar aquariums and calming glitter sensory bottles. These projects were a huge hit and students were truly excited to make their unique creations. The projects also brought a sense of calm they don't often get to feel during the school day.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was when a student who was having a tough week was looking forward to being in school that day because he knew we would be making our glitter bottles. Your donation gave my students the tools and space to feel safe, focused, and proud. These materials helped create an environment where every student could participate, create, and thrive. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and in the power of creativity and inclusion. You've made a lasting difference in our students' lives, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1736117885444,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calm-sensory-arts-crafts-for/9029709/","projectTitle":"Creating Calm: Sensory Arts & Crafts for Student Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cherubin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7198938_orig.jpg?crop=1126,1126,x137,y589&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723414806674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7198938"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97555","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":610,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":97555,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hebrew Language Academy Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hebrew Language Academy Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/hebrew-language-academy-cs/97555"}
