Your contribution has made a truly remarkable difference in the lives of our students.\r\n\r\nBefore your gift, our library, while a place of learning and discovery, lacked the adaptable and calming environment that many of our students, especially those with sensory sensitivities, need to thrive. The standard lighting was often too harsh, creating distractions and discomfort that hindered their ability to focus and engage.\r\n\r\nNow, thanks to your thoughtful donation, our library has transformed into a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone. The adjustable lighting allows us to create a variety of atmospheres, from a bright and energetic setting for group activities to a soft and soothing environment for quiet reading and study.\r\n\r\nWe have already observed numerous positive impacts:\r\n\r\nIncreased Engagement: Students who previously struggled with the library's environment are now more comfortable and engaged in reading, research, and collaborative projects.\r\n\r\nImproved Focus and Concentration: The calming effect of the sensory lighting has helped students with sensory sensitivities to focus and concentrate better, leading to improved learning outcomes.\r\n\r\nReduced Anxiety and Stress: The ability to adjust the lighting has created a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, reducing anxiety and stress for many of our students.\r\n\r\nEnhanced Inclusivity: Your donation has made our library a more inclusive space for all students, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and support they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nA More Welcoming Atmosphere: The library is now a more inviting place for all students. They enjoy the new ambiance and spend more time engaging with the resources provided.\r\n\r\nWe have seen children who were often reluctant to enter the library now eagerly participate in activities and enjoy quiet reading time. Your gift has not only illuminated our library but also illuminated the potential within our students.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your commitment to our school and your understanding of the importance of creating inclusive learning environments. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our students, and we will cherish this gift for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1734099005568,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-the-library/8694871/","projectTitle":"Light Up the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murphy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8453384_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753905666978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8453384"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":515,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":79,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.2,"schoolId":46731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rolling Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rolling Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/rolling-hills-elementary-school/46731"}
