Many students feel nervous or stressed when coming in for counseling, so creating a cozy and relaxed environment will help them feel calm and open.\r\n\r\nThe bean bag chair offers a soft, comfortable place for students to sit while waiting or during meetings, adding both comfort and a bright, inviting touch. The coffee table provides a functional space to hold papers, brochures, and other materials, with a built-in drawer to keep the office organized and tidy.\r\n\r\nTogether, these items create a small lounge area where students can relax, focus, and feel supported. This improved environment encourages engagement, confidence, and productive conversations about their college and career goals.","fullyFundedDate":1760540300674,"projectUrl":"project/designing-a-relaxing-space-for-students/9747137/","projectTitle":"Designing a Relaxing Space for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Demircan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7493550"},{"teacherId":7493550,"projectId":9651033,"letterContent":"This project will make the counseling and college readiness room more organized, welcoming, and student-focused.

Now, with a color printer, our study sheets and diagrams come to life, and their excitement for learning has grown tremendously.\r\n\r\nThe best part is watching them print certificates and portfolio pages showcasing their hard work. Many of my students never had a chance to display their accomplishments before, and now they proudly hold a piece of proof that their efforts matter.
