Because of your generosity in funding our frames, Instax film, storage baskets, and computer desk, our student-led wellness initiative is up and running. Our high school students created this project to promote emotional well-being, encouragement, and connection across our school. \r\n\r\nAt the Wellness Connection Station, students take instant photos of peers and staff and pair them with handwritten affirmations, gratitude messages, and positive coping reminders. Each photo becomes a meaningful keepsake that reminds someone they are valued and supported. Your donation has empowered students to lead with empathy, practice service, and see the real impact of kindness. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in their vision and helping us make wellness visible in our school.","fullyFundedDate":1770408363690,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-community-care/10081143/","projectTitle":"Capturing Community Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Amador","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2495197_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747403701183","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2495197"},{"teacherId":8525664,"projectId":9602704,"letterContent":"I wish I could have captured my students' faces as each package arrived! Every time a new box came in and our \"Woosah Corner\" started coming together, the room filled with \"wows!\" and \"this is awesome!\"—and it truly was awesome.\r\n\r\nI shared with my students how generous donors saw our project on DonorsChoose, believed in it, and cared so much about them that they made our calming corner possible. They were amazed that people they've never met would show such kindness and support.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of our corner is to give students a safe space to take a break, catch their breath, and have a quiet moment when they need it. It has quickly become their go-to spot—even in the mornings before our day officially begins. Whether they're relaxing on the beanbags, engaging with the multi-sensory tools (which truly help calm their bodies and minds), or reading books that remind them it's okay to feel all kinds of emotions, this space has become something special.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have a comforting place where they feel supported, understood, and cared for.
