From making my room look better, having snacks for kids who miss breakfast, and items to help students who get off task, I am pretty set for the year! At my school, we don't get a lot of money to make our rooms look homey, so the decor is appreciated to make my space my welcoming. The snacks are definitely a plus! Many of my students rush out the door in the morning or are getting their siblings ready, they miss breakfast. The variety of snacks and food is great! The chair bands and calm strips help the students expend extra energy or calm down when needed. The students were super excited to receive these materials. Not every teacher can get this kind of support. I will continue to support my students and see what they need along the way!

I had no idea just how much I would need until I stepped into the classroom. Every day, I see how many needs these kids have and how essential it is to have the right staff and materials to support their learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generous donations, I've been able to provide sensory tools to my small group of students who needed outlets for self-regulation. These tools have empowered them to explore different ways to calm their bodies, build independence, and recognize when they need support—grabbing what they need without assistance.\r\n\r\nI'm beyond grateful for the impact these resources have had on my students, and I look forward to carrying that support into the next school year. Thanks to you, I now have the tools to help future students who may need them. I only wish you could see firsthand all the wonderful things we've been able to accomplish because of your kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1733244112167,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-sensory-success-help-us-crea/8905667/","projectTitle":"Supporting Sensory Success: Help Us Create an Inclusive Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mercado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9817353"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84429","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":379,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"27.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":46.2,"schoolId":84429,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about St Bernard Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"St Bernard Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/st-bernard-elmwood-place-schools/st-bernard-elementary-school/84429"}
