The positive comments were only exceeded by the improved attendance, elevated interest and grades. Imagine that—the environment supported learning.\r\n\r\nStudents commented that the room felt like it helped their mental health and lowered stress levels. Students took care of the space by helping with trash, cleaning desks, sharing art, leaving notes for peers.\r\n\r\nTeaching in the room definitely helped me to recognize the importance of the environment we create. We create the vibe, but the intention in the room really helped.","fullyFundedDate":1723468118225,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-light-the-cave/8584874/","projectTitle":"Help Us Light the Cave","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Leyba","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9239687"},{"teacherId":9242141,"projectId":7766596,"letterContent":"I am incredibly grateful for your generosity in supporting our students' well-being. Your contributions have provided essential tools to help students build stamina, resilience, and effective coping strategies for the challenges they face daily.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, we have been able to implement evidence-based techniques to support students in managing anxiety, ADHD, and depression. The wiggle stools have given students a sense of autonomy in their seating, allowing them to choose what works best for their focus and comfort. Writing decision-making tools and plans to reduce stress on the board has provided students with visual reminders and strategies they can refer to when needed. The ability to take pictures of these plans ensures they have access to their personalized coping strategies at all times.\r\n\r\nThe ice packs have been particularly effective in calming students experiencing panic or heightened anxiety, helping them regulate their emotions by activating the vagus nerve. The happy light has brought a much-needed boost to students struggling with depression, mimicking natural sunlight to support their mental health. The calm strips have become a discreet and accessible tool for students who need fidget options, providing sensory input that helps them stay grounded and focused.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we are creating an environment where students feel supported and equipped with tools to navigate their emotions effectively. Your impact is immeasurable, and we deeply appreciate your belief in our students' growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1693624293590,"projectUrl":"project/calming-space-to-reduce-stress-in-high-s/7766596/","projectTitle":"Calming Space To Reduce Stress in High School","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wonstolen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9242141_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y208&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726001234778","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9242141"},{"teacherId":9242141,"projectId":8908304,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity in supporting our students. Your contributions have made a tangible difference in creating a nurturing and productive space where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these resources, we have been able to enhance our sessions in meaningful ways. The glass board markers have transformed how we brainstorm and problem-solve together, allowing students to visually map out their thoughts and emotions. \r\n\r\nThe plant lights have brought life to our once-windowless space, creating a calming and welcoming atmosphere. Students frequently comment on how the greenery makes the room feel more peaceful and inviting. The Warhead candy is the most frequently requested and effective tool for sensory grounding, helping students regulate their emotions during stressful moments. The ice maker has also been particularly helpful for regulating emotions in times of stress and panic. Additionally, the noise-canceling headphones have provided a much-needed refuge for students who require a quiet space to reset and concentrate.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support our students' emotional and academic growth. We are incorporating more visual exercises with the glass board, integrating mindfulness practices with our plants, and expanding the use of sensory tools to help students develop effective coping strategies.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly contributed to creating a space where students can thrive.
