Because of your generosity, our students now have access to essential items and comforting resources that help them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn each day. We've already begun using the materials during our mornings and snack time, where students can access snacks when needed and choose warm, cozy items that help them regulate and focus. One especially meaningful moment was watching a student quietly grab a snack, simply knowing it was there for them. The look of relief and comfort on their face reminded us exactly why this project mattered. When the students first saw the new supplies, their eyes lit up. They were genuinely excited and, more importantly, felt cared for. \r\n\r\nBecause of you, we are able to continue building lessons that teach empathy, gratitude, and community responsibility alongside academics. We will be integrating reading and writing activities focused on kindness and community helpers, allowing students to reflect on how it feels to give and receive care. Your generosity has created more than comfort — it has created opportunity, dignity, and meaningful conversations that will stay with our students far beyond this school year. Thank you for making such a lasting impact in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1769811081255,"projectUrl":"project/because-every-child-deserves-warmth-foo/10055383/","projectTitle":"Because Every Child Deserves Warmth, Food and Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sandberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10417153"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54120","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":480,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":54120,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Beachwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Beachwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/toms-river-regional-school-district/beachwood-elementary-school/54120"}
