One student asked, \"Is this really for us?\"—a reminder of just how meaningful your support truly is.\r\n\r\nWe've already put the new resources to great use. With the addition of the new chair and snacks, students are feeling more safe, supported, and comfortable throughout the day. These small comforts have made a big difference, especially when students are managing big emotions. The chair has become a calming space for self-regulation, and the snacks help students stay focused and ready to learn. It's amazing how these simple additions can create such a nurturing environment.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has brought not only physical comfort to our classroom, but also emotional support—and for that, we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1755708952341,"projectUrl":"project/chs-wellness-center/9535739/","projectTitle":"CHS Wellness Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jensen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9805043_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748883983665","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9805043"},{"teacherId":9690351,"projectId":8678139,"letterContent":"Thank you for the stickers and the furniture piece they are kept on!

Unfortunately, due to staff movement, I was not able to create the 'wall', BUT I am, and will continue to share the stickers with the high schoolers! Students continue to come into my office and know where to go for a little pick me up! These high school students continue to yearn for an adult connection that they can trust.
