Your grant has made a tangible difference in the lives of our students, creating a more welcoming and supportive environment.\r\nHow We're Using These Resources:\r\nYour contributions have directly supported students in managing stress and anxiety. The coloring books and fidgets have become invaluable tools during individual counseling sessions and group workshops. For instance, just last week, a student struggling with test anxiety used a fidget to ground themselves during a particularly stressful moment. We worked together to practice mindfulness techniques, using the coloring books to focus and calm their racing thoughts. They left the session feeling noticeably more relaxed and confident.\r\nThe signs you helped provide have transformed my office into a comfortable space. Students (and even some parents!) have commented on how much more inviting and calming the space feels. The warm colors and positive affirmations create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable opening up and seeking support.\r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1732717250309,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-mental-health-and-wellness-for/8852987/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Mental Health and Wellness for High School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thornton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9789131"},{"teacherId":9801947,"projectId":8873862,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous contributions to the mental health and wellness resources at my school.

Many students have expresses excitement about having access to these calming tools. These resources are not only helping them stay grounded during moments of anxiety but also empowering them to take charge of their own well-being. It has been incredible to see their sense of relief and hope as they learn to implement these strategies in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nAs a school counselor I have the privilege of supporting students every day, and your donations directly enhance the work I do. It is heartwarming to know I have the right tools to help them in critical moments. Your support allows me to be a consistent source of care for them.
