Thanks to your kindness and belief in the power of student wellness and creative education, we now have a dedicated space within our art room where students can relax, reset, and reconnect with themselves in a peaceful environment.\r\n\r\nThe Zen Den was designed to address a growing need we've seen in our classroom—a safe and nurturing space for students to take a mindful break when they're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally overstimulated. Middle school is a time of immense growth, both academically and personally, and students often carry more than just their backpacks into the classroom. Your donation helped us create a space that acknowledges their emotional needs and offers them a moment to breathe.\r\n\r\nWith your support, we were able to furnish the Zen Den with cozy seating, soft lighting, sensory tools, calming visuals, and mindfulness activities. It's more than just a physical area—it's a refuge, a place where students can regain a sense of calm and emotional balance. Whether it's taking a few minutes to color quietly, listen to relaxing sounds, or use sensory items. This space is a reality because of you!","fullyFundedDate":1737059263650,"projectUrl":"project/zen-den-for-middle-school-artists/8847663/","projectTitle":"Zen Den for Middle School Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Watson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8583180_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659988667242","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8583180"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23669","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":233,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.7,"schoolId":23669,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Little Falls Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Little Falls Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/little-falls-city-school-district/little-falls-middle-school/23669"}
