Your support created a safe, reliable space where my middle school students could meet their basic needs with dignity and return to learning with confidence.\r\n\r\nBecause of your funding, students had access to healthy snacks to refuel during long school days, especially those who often came to class hungry or distracted. Hygiene items gave students quiet solutions to personal needs that might otherwise cause embarrassment, missed class time, or avoidance behaviors. The cool-down corner materials you helped provide became one of the most frequently used supports in our classroom, offering students a structured way to regulate emotions, reset their mindset, and safely rejoin the learning environment.\r\n\r\nYour contribution reached far beyond supplies on a shelf. It reduced anxiety, improved focus, strengthened classroom culture, and sent a powerful message to my students that they are seen, supported, and worth investing in. The impact has carried into this year as well, shaping a more compassionate and responsive learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such meaningful, student-centered change possible. Every single item you helped provide played a role in helping my students feel cared for... and when students feel cared for, they learn better.","fullyFundedDate":1722035360689,"projectUrl":"project/student-refresh-center/8476514/","projectTitle":"Student Refresh Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Scott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7891347_orig.jpg?crop=1280,1280,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763742939205","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsscottwills"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75528","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":725,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.5,"schoolId":75528,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thompson Ranch Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thompson Ranch Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/dysart-unified-school-district/thompson-ranch-elementary-school/75528"}
