When kids come to my office, they love being able to pick the one that feels right for them. That little bit of choice helps them feel more in control and gives them a healthy way to manage their energy, focus, or nerves.\r\n\r\nThe color-changing fish tank (with fake fish and bubbles) has honestly stolen the show. Students light up when they see it, and it's become this calming, fun spot they can focus on when they need a break.\r\n\r\nThe SEL materials you provided give me so many creative tools to help students learn about emotions, empathy, and coping skills in ways that really stick.\r\n\r\nAnd the snacks—they've filled so many hungry bellies. Having something to eat makes such a difference for kids who might otherwise struggle to concentrate and get through the day.\r\n\r\nAll of these things, big and small, add up to a space where students feel safe, cared for, and supported. And none of it would be possible without your kindness. Thank you so much for pouring into my students. You're helping meet needs, spark joy, and give kids the tools they need to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746786509314,"projectUrl":"project/everyone-deserves-a-chance/9122499/","projectTitle":"Everyone Deserves a Chance","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hoover","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thehoovycounselor"},{"teacherId":9921741,"projectId":9120640,"letterContent":"I want to take a moment to thank you for the incredible generosity you've shown through your donations. The items you've provided are already making a real difference in my students' lives.\r\n\r\nFidgets: These tools have been so helpful for my students who struggle with focus, anxiety, or restlessness. Having something small to keep their hands busy helps them regulate their emotions and stay engaged in learning. It gives them a safe outlet for their energy while allowing them to remain present in class.\r\n\r\nSEL Materials: The social-emotional learning resources you've donated have directly enhanced the lessons and activities I'm able to provide. They give me creative, hands-on ways to help students build self-awareness, practice empathy, and learn healthy coping skills. These materials don't just supplement my teaching, they expand it, allowing me to support the whole child, not just their academics.\r\n\r\nGratitude: I cannot express enough how much your kindness means to me and to my classroom. Your support affirms that my students' well being matters, and it allows me to provide them with the tools they need to grow emotionally, socially, and academically.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in my students' futures. Your generosity is helping create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for every child I serve.","fullyFundedDate":1739999487412,"projectUrl":"project/where-good-choices-are-made/9120640/","projectTitle":"Where good choices are made!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hoover","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thehoovycounselor"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57260","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":249,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":57260,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hutchinson Magnet School at Allen on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hutchinson Magnet School at Allen","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/hutchinson-unified-school-district-308/hutchinson-magnet-school-at-allen/57260"}
