With the new lighting, décor, and seasonal decorations, students now have a place that feels safe, calming, and festive. When they first walked in and saw the decorations, many smiled, commented on how \"cozy\" it felt, and shared that it made the space feel special.\r\n\r\nHaving this environment has made a real difference in how students show up to sessions. The festive touches help them feel included and cared for, while the calming atmosphere makes it easier for them to open up and focus on building important social-emotional skills. Moving forward, we'll continue tying the seasonal décor into our activities, such as gratitude journaling and mindfulness practices.\r\n\r\nYour support has created more than just a decorated space—it has created a consistent, comforting environment that helps students feel valued and engaged.

As the school year begins, I'm excited to start using the hands-on tools you helped provide such as sensory items and art supplies in both individual and group sessions. These resources will give students a creative and interactive way to explore their emotions, learn coping strategies, and build self-awareness. I know students will be excited and curious when they see the materials for the first time, and I expect they will feel more engaged and empowered as we begin using them. One of our first projects will focus on mindfulness and self-regulation, and these tools will help bring those lessons to life. Your support is helping set the tone for a safe and supportive space where students can grow emotionally and feel more confident this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1750167380901,"projectUrl":"project/tools-that-teach-fuel-social-emotional/9393775/","projectTitle":"Tools That Teach: Fuel Social-Emotional Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Danielle DeChavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10049214"},{"teacherId":10049214,"projectId":9393672,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for providing us with snacks for our students here at Wheatland High School.
