Your kindness and willingness to contribute directly impact the daily experiences of our students, and I am incredibly grateful.\r\n\r\nThe new sensory materials have already begun making a meaningful difference in our classroom. Tools like textured fidgets, sensory bins, and calming tactile items help our students regulate their emotions, stay engaged during learning activities, and build important self-regulation skills. For many of our learners, having access to the right sensory supports allows them to feel more comfortable, confident, and ready to participate in the classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWhat makes your contribution especially meaningful is how directly it supports each child's individual needs. Our students benefit greatly from hands-on, sensory-rich learning experiences, and these materials allow us to create opportunities for exploration, focus, and calm moments throughout the day. Whether a child needs a quick sensory break or a tool to help them stay seated and attentive during a lesson, these resources make a real difference.\r\n\r\nIt is always inspiring to see families come together to support our classroom community. Your generosity helps us create a space where every child can learn, grow, and feel supported. Please know that your contribution is appreciated not only by me, but by every student who benefits from these materials each day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your thoughtfulness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1766246883792,"projectUrl":"project/ms-messinas-kindergarten-class/9960361/","projectTitle":"Ms. Messina's Kindergarten Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Messina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10382943"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81184","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":606,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":8,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.9,"schoolId":81184,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spring Garden Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spring Garden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/nutley-public-school-district/spring-garden-elementary-school/81184"}
