More importantly, they have become valuable tools to help children recognize and manage their emotions, calm their bodies, and return to a more regulated state.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your support in creating an environment where children can feel safe, comfortable, and empowered to use positive strategies for emotional regulation. These resources are making a meaningful difference in our children's daily experiences.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our children and supporting their sensory and emotional needs!","fullyFundedDate":1780095078446,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-room/10298046/","projectTitle":"Sensory Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sargent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10047869_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756319736258","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10047869"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51438","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":231,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":91.7,"schoolId":51438,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stuart Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stuart Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/west-central-valley-community-school-district/west-central-valley-elementary-school-menlo/51438"}
