When the materials first arrived, the room lit up with excitement—students immediately gathered around the board games and colored pencils, eager to try them out. One student said, \"I love coming here!\" and I could see the joy and comfort in their faces as they explored the new tools.\r\n\r\nWe've already started using the social-emotional learning books to guide discussions, and the dry-erase boards have become a favorite during reflection time. Just last week, we played a game that encouraged teamwork and problem-solving. A student who usually struggles to participate not only joined in but proudly shared how they helped their group succeed. Moments like these remind me why this project matters so much—the resources are more than supplies; they are opening doors for growth, connection, and healing.\r\n\r\nYour donation has transformed our classroom into a place of safety and hope. You've given my students tools to learn about themselves, care for their mental health, and support each other. On behalf of every student who now feels a little more seen and valued, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1746804737618,"projectUrl":"project/because-take-a-deep-breath-only-works/9119746/","projectTitle":"Because \"Take a Deep Breath\" Only Works Sometimes","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Joyce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9926679_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740072774341","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9926679"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7013","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":394,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.8,"schoolId":7013,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Knollwood Preparatory Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Knollwood Preparatory Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/knollwood-elementary-school/7013"}
