Because of you, we now have art supplies and fidgets that are being used daily in both individual counseling sessions and our lunchtime Kindness Club. These materials have created a safe, creative outlet where students can express themselves, regulate their emotions, and build confidence. One especially meaningful moment was during Kindness Club, when students used the art supplies to create thoughtful projects for our school community while naturally opening up, supporting one another, and practicing empathy in action.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They were eager to explore the art supplies and gravitated right toward the fidgets, sharing which tools helped them feel calm or focused. Several students commented on how nice it felt to have special materials just for them, and it was clear that knowing someone had donated these items made them feel valued and cared for.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, students will continue using these resources to deepen their social-emotional learning. In individual sessions, art and fidgets will support self-expression, emotional regulation, and healthy coping strategies. In Kindness Club, students will collaborate on creative projects that promote connection and giving back to our school community. Your generosity has truly expanded what we are able to offer our students, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact you've made in their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1764686550499,"projectUrl":"project/artful-acts-of-kindness/9883169/","projectTitle":"Artful Acts of Kindness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp468284_orig.jpg?crop=535,535,x0,y51&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755801655115","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/468284"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4324","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1040,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":4324,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J.B.
