Much of the work we do centers around supporting our students' mental and emotional well-being. Your donation helps us continue to provide a safe, stable, and supportive environment where true growth can begin.\r\n\r\nThe challenges students face today are complex and ever-evolving. Mental health resources such as counseling, mindfulness programs, and access to therapeutic tools are no longer optional—they're essential. Thanks to your support, we can offer more of these critical resources in our classrooms. Items like headphones, for example, are more than just supplies—they become tools for regulation, for discovering the power of music as a form of therapy, and for finding peace in the middle of a school day.\r\n\r\nOur students are excited to explore the arts as a means of expression and healing. Your generosity brings us closer to providing them with adaptive and creative therapies that foster resilience, self-awareness, and emotional growth.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our mission and in the potential of every student who walks through our doors. Your support truly makes a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1736970247420,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-support-mid-year-re-vamp/8958722/","projectTitle":"Mental Health Support - Mid-Year Re-Vamp","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lizzy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9679815_orig.jpg?crop=659,659,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732208426266","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9679815"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75046","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":100,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":41,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.9,"schoolId":75046,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P.R.E.P.
