We are all incredibly appreciative of the support you've provided to help us begin building our sensory room. Your generosity has already made a meaningful impact on our students. They use the items every single day—especially the puzzles, which they absolutely love. The swings provide comfort and help students feel calm and regulated, while the weighted blanket has been wonderful for those who seek additional sensory input. The dot paint has added so much creativity to our art projects, and the baking pans and cooking utensils are being put to great use during our weekly cooking lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw all the new materials, their excitement was unforgettable. They immediately wanted to explore everything, building puzzles and trying out each item right away. It has been so rewarding to see their joy and engagement. Thank you again for your kindness and for helping us create a space that supports our students' needs and growth every day.","fullyFundedDate":1768524345154,"projectUrl":"project/amys-helping-hands-brings-bright-futur/9719547/","projectTitle":"Amy's Helping Hands, Brings Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Farrier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10265070_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y786&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758060421110","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10265070"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":733,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.3,"schoolId":40650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Niguel Hills Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Niguel Hills Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/capistrano-unified-school-district/niguel-hills-middle-school/40650"}
