Your support has made a significant impact on the well-being of our students, and we are excited to share how these simple yet meaningful additions have improved our school environment.\r\n\r\nThe beanbag chairs have quickly become a favorite feature of our hallway and social work office. They provide a calming, comfortable area for students to relax, de-stress, and recharge during the school day. For many of our students, the pressures of academics, personal challenges, and social dynamics can feel overwhelming. The opportunity to sit, decompress, and regain their focus in a cozy, supportive space has been transformative.\r\n\r\nThese chairs are not just a place to sit—they've become tools for promoting emotional regulation and mindfulness. Students have shared how they use the space to practice breathing exercises, journal, find a moment of peace when life feels chaotic, or connect with friends. Staff have noticed that students who use the chairs during particularly stressful moments return to class more centered and ready to engage in learning.\r\n\r\nOne student shared, \"The beanbag chairs are very uplifting to my mental health.\" Another said, \"It makes me feel more relaxed and encourages me to be in higher productivity at school with such an accessible place to relax during the school day.\"\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping us create a school culture where mental health is valued and supported. The impact of these chairs goes far beyond the fabric and filling—they represent a tangible commitment to our students' well-being. Knowing that someone out there cares enough to invest in their emotional health means the world to our students and staff alike.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of mental health in education and for helping us provide a safe, welcoming space for our students. Your kindness inspires us every day, and we will continue to pay it forward by fostering an environment where every student can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1730584962387,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health/8914977/","projectTitle":"Mental health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Katie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6821048"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70482","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":30,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":70482,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bowers Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bowers Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/bloomfield-hills-school-district/bloomfield-hills-alternative-high-school/70482"}
