The snacks have been especially appreciated—helping students stay focused and energized throughout the day. Additionally, resources like the paper cutter and cleaning supplies have made classroom preparation and organization so much more efficient.\r\n\r\nYour kindness not only meets practical needs but also reminds our students that they are cared for and supported by their community.

Their faces lit up as they unpacked the bean bag chair, legos, sensory items, and fidgets that will help them thrive and regulate their bodies. Many of them shared how much it made them feel motivated to learn and lessened some anxiety with their learning. This gesture is not just about the materials themselves, but about creating an environment that shows them their education matters. It fosters a sense of pride in their work and encourages a deeper connection to the learning process.\r\n\r\nThese materials will have a lasting impact on my students, not just in terms of academic success, but also in their emotional well-being. When students have the tools they need to succeed, it boosts their confidence, reduces stress, and sparks their creativity. It also reinforces the idea that they are deserving of the best resources to help them grow, which in turn strengthens their self-belief and fosters a positive classroom culture. The ripple effect of this act of kindness will undoubtedly carry forward in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1731953529299,"projectUrl":"project/sense-ational-learning/8511153/","projectTitle":"Sense-ational Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Condon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9601119_orig.png?crop=285,285,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721660067668","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9601119"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65189","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":335,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":65189,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spruce Mountain Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spruce Mountain Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maine/rsu-73/livermore-falls-middle-school/65189"}
