The art supplies and play therapy toys gave students a safe and creative outlet to express big feelings they often don't have words for. The books helped spark conversations about emotions, coping skills, and resilience, allowing students to see themselves reflected in stories and feel less alone.\r\n\r\nThe snacks played a bigger role than many might expect—helping students feel cared for, regulated, and ready to engage, especially during longer or more challenging sessions. And the puppets quickly became one of the most powerful tools of all. Through play, role-modeling, and storytelling, students practiced social skills, problem-solving, and emotional expression in a way that felt fun and non-threatening.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my social work space became a place of comfort, creativity, and connection. Your support didn't just provide materials—it helped create moments of trust, joy, and growth that will stay with my students long after this project.

Teachers and staff are guiding students to the caring closet when they need clothing, hygiene items, or basic care supplies, allowing them to quickly return to learning without embarrassment or disruption. One moment that stood out was a student who quietly accessed a hygiene item before class and then confidently rejoined their peers, something that previously might have kept them distracted or withdrawn for the rest of the day.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the Dolphin Den fully stocked, their reactions were full of excitement and relief. Several students expressed how grateful they were that the school had a place where they could get what they needed, and teachers noticed immediate conversations about kindness, empathy, and taking care of one another. The Dolphin Den has become a visible symbol of support and belonging, reinforcing that our school is a safe place where students' needs matter.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are building on this momentum by continuing to teach lessons focused on self-care, empathy, and responsibility. Students are learning how to respectfully use and maintain shared resources, and staff are able to proactively support students without interrupting instruction. Because of you, the Dolphin Den is not just a collection of supplies, it's an ongoing commitment to removing barriers to learning and helping every Nibley Park Dolphin feel confident, cared for, and ready to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1769729310620,"projectUrl":"project/confidence-starts-here-the-dolphin-den/10063544/","projectTitle":"Confidence Starts Here: The Dolphin Den at Our School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1519172_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1505269250792","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kathryn-osgood"},{"teacherId":8421469,"projectId":9955386,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom.
