Your support has made a huge difference and has helped my students in so many ways.\r\n\r\nWith your help, we created a welcoming space where students could practice mindfulness activities. This calm and peaceful space let them do yoga and other mindfulness exercises that helped them feel better both physically and mentally. They learned how to relax, focus, and take care of themselves, which has been so important for their growth.\r\n\r\nYour donation also gave my students the chance to do an exciting project. They worked together to make lessons to teach younger kids about important ideas from our yoga curriculum. These ideas include kindness, being present, gratitude, starting fresh, celebrating differences, and trying new things. Teaching these lessons was a powerful experience for my students. They loved being mentors and have said it's something they'll never forget. They also learned about leadership, empathy, and how to work together as a community.\r\n\r\nOn top of that, your donation provided disinfecting wipes, which helped us keep our mats and classroom clean. This made it easier for everyone to focus on their activities and feel comfortable in a healthy space.\r\n\r\nThe joy and growth my students experienced this year would not have been possible without your kindness and support. Thank you for believing in us and for making such a big difference in my students' lives. Your generosity inspires all of us, and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1728006552258,"projectUrl":"project/yoga-education-at-brhs/8857538/","projectTitle":"Yoga Education at BRHS!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schumann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9792716"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71179","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":755,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.8,"schoolId":71179,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Big Rapids High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Big Rapids High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/big-rapids-public-school-district/big-rapids-high-school/71179"}
