We were also able to perform on short notice for a public groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of our new school building. The photos attached are from these two performances!

These resources have helped students learn about and encourage a daily growth mindset using key social emotional learning skills such as self-management. Students use these resources as an independent, small group, or whole group space. Students play games and get to know one another as well as learning about themselves. They've learned key self-regulatory strategies such as yoga and mindfulness. The first time my students accessed these resources they were ecstatic; expressing their gratitude by drawing pictures and planning time to design the space. They kept it clean and organized daily and would use timers for breaks. The next steps were to share their experiences with other classes. As well, students would like to add more resources focusing on Science, history, and the Arts & Crafts!

Pleasant Ski Club, which is composed of underrepresented youth from Providence, RI. These students earned the opportunity to learn to ski or snowboard by maintaining a 90% or better attendance rate and a GPA of 85% or higher.\r\n\r\nThanks to generous donors, we were able to equip many of our students with skis, poles, snowboards, and boots for each ski trip. The addition of these carriers has allowed them to take another important step in their journey to becoming skiers and snowboarders—learning to carry and care for their equipment throughout the ski season.\r\n\r\nCarrying and taking care of the ski and snowboard equipment during these trips teaches students valuable skills in responsibility and equipment maintenance. By using the same gear throughout the winter season, they also experience what it feels like to be an owner, fostering a sense of pride and commitment to the sport.\r\n\r\n\r\nBeyond practicality, this experience helps broaden their horizons, build confidence, and foster a sense of belonging in a sport where they are often underrepresented. We are incredibly grateful for the support that continues to make these opportunities possible.","fullyFundedDate":1732737816357,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-be-snow-ready-hold-it-all-toget/8965120/","projectTitle":"Help Us be Snow Ready, Hold it All Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lipa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9846989"},{"teacherId":9722943,"projectId":9004895,"letterContent":"Thank you so incredibly much for your generous donations.
