The snacks, water, weighted stuffed animals, coloring books, and fidgets have made so many student's days. Because of the generous donations that were provided to me, I was able to share materials with my PSW who has been so thankful. We have had a rough start to the year but these materials have helped us connect with the students and overall provide a safe space for students to decompress and regulate themselves in order to go back to class and remained focused. Many teachers have also thanked us for being able to provide fidgets and just a calming space for their students when they are needing a break because they feel deregulated. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all.","fullyFundedDate":1756432635799,"projectUrl":"project/school-should-be-a-safe-space-for-our-st/9535309/","projectTitle":"School Should Be A Safe Space For Our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Yee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9754515_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754864555998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9754515"},{"teacherId":1648412,"projectId":9085673,"letterContent":"It has been truly amazing to be able to provide my students with period products when times are tough.
