The snacks have been a big hit. We have to use our own money for snacks, so this has really helped. Kids feel comfortable coming back after they have received snacks in the past, so having students come by just to say hi is great. Especially being in a HS sometimes kids are too cool to just stop by, so this has really helped. I was also able to provide snacks for when some students had extended time for tests they were taking. Having the snacks is something that I will definitely continue with in the future.\r\n\r\nThe fidget toys have also been a huge hit! Every time a student sits down, they literally pick up a toy and start fidgeting with it. You can tell it instantly calms them down. My administration uses them as well and sometimes I do too! \r\n\r\nThe pictures have made a boring wall look nice again.Considering I have a purple wall, it is not always easy to find pictures that match it and the ones I was able to purchase are perfect.\r\n\r\nThe last two items that have been the biggest hits have been my sloth rug and weighted stuffed animal. So many of my students have used the weighted animal. They use it when they have come in so distraught they don't know what to do. They just sit and will hold it. It really is the best addition to my office. \r\n\r\nAll of these items have made my office more inviting and without your support I would not have been able to have them. They make my office cozy, comfortable, but still professional. I really appreciate being approved for my project. Thank you for all you have done for me, my students, my faculty and other educators as well.","fullyFundedDate":1727888496201,"projectUrl":"project/just-like-home/8830464/","projectTitle":"Just Like Home.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kavanagh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9780556"},{"teacherId":9808058,"projectId":8888932,"letterContent":"I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of self-care items for our hard-of-hearing students.
