The soft, soothing sound of the water fountain provides an auditory escape, helping students manage stress and anxiety as they engage in counseling sessions. The zen sand garden offers a tactile, meditative experience, allowing students to express their feelings and thoughts through the gentle act of moving the sand, creating a therapeutic form of mindfulness. Meanwhile, the drawing board serves as a creative outlet for students to visually communicate their emotions, ideas, or reflections, facilitating deeper self-expression and reflection during counseling. A teenagers stomach is the way to their hearts! The snacks provide a natural way to build connection. \r\nTogether, these elements promote a safe and serene atmosphere, supporting students in their emotional healing, personal growth, and overall mental health. By enhancing the physical space with calming, interactive components, the office becomes a place where students can feel more at ease, open, and ready to engage in their personal development.","fullyFundedDate":1725910207877,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-mental-health-in-alte/8752866/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Mental Health in Alternative Secondary Program","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pae","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9303393"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60016","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":150,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"10 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":60016,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Options High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Options High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/littleton-public-school-district-6/options-alternative-high-school/60016"}
