The materials are being used by students daily in the library. Students visit me every period to have a warm beverage and a chat. They are so happy to have this available, especially those who work late and are trying to attend school after very little sleep. We are so grateful for this to create a warm and inviting library space.\r\n\r\nThe self-care station is a big hit. Students stop by regularly for chapstick, bandaids, mints, hair ties and more. They are always so grateful and love having it available to them without having to ask a teacher in the school.\r\n\r\nThe legos were very popular. Students worked together and spent hours concentrating together to make the beautiful flowers. The fidgets have also been very well received. Students play with them often and borrow them if they are having a stressful day. We are all so lucky for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1758987656911,"projectUrl":"project/taking-care-in-the-library-20/9671105/","projectTitle":"Taking Care in the Library 2.0","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2103469_orig.jpg?crop=1706,1706,x200,y46&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1637721561866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sarah-rose"},{"teacherId":2103469,"projectId":9136982,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for your donation to our school.
