Students couldn't wait to explore the new games, activities, and snacks. There were big smiles, lots of curiosity, and plenty of \"Can we play this today?\" moments. It was clear they felt special, supported, and genuinely excited to learn.\r\n\r\nThese materials are already making a difference. They give students the language to express their feelings, the tools to calm themselves, and the confidence to navigate relationships in healthy ways. For many of our students, this support is just as important as reading or math—it helps them feel safe, seen, and capable.\r\n\r\nYour kindness reaches far beyond supplies on a shelf. It shows our students that there are people who care about their well-being and believe in their potential. That message alone is powerful.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' hearts as well as their minds. We are deeply grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nWith appreciation,\r\nCheri Olivas","fullyFundedDate":1764642586599,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-learning/9757763/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cheri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9932484_orig.jpg?crop=462,462,x0,y9&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758904595238","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9932484"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74197","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":270,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.3,"schoolId":74197,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Valley Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Valley Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/new-mexico-department-of-education/north-valley-academy/74197"}
