Your items that you provided are already making an impact on our Advocacy Center. Students have been using the journals to help self-regulate their emotions and the sketch pads have been very popular for kids wanting to visualize what's going on. You've given us an opportunity to give students better resources to manage their Stress and Anxiety.\r\n\r\n The stress balls are a huge hit. Many students come in very upset and it definitely helps them relieve that stress as they are talking through their problems with the advocates. One girl pulled it to the point that it broke. She felt bad for breaking it but we told her that's what they're there for and we're able to give her another one because of having so many. \r\n\r\nThe Advocates went into meet with a student and they were drawing on the back of an envelope and we were able to provide her with a sketch pad and it brought a huge smile to her face. She asked if she could take one for her friend who was also struggling and of course we were able to get that for her as well. Your contribution is helping students on a daily basis.","fullyFundedDate":1793195146194,"projectUrl":"project/stronger-than-stress/10758621/","projectTitle":"Stronger than Stress","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Olinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2028760_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722381110936","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eric-olinger"},{"teacherId":1611327,"projectId":10231210,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing the light covers for our classrooms and office.
