Your support has made a significant impact on our club, and we are truly grateful for your contribution.\r\n\r\nWith the new materials, our students have been able to engage in various creative projects, such as crocheting scarves and hats to donate to a local homeless shelter. The students were excited to dive into these hands-on projects, and it's been incredibly rewarding to see them use their skills for such a meaningful cause. One particularly memorable moment was when they first saw the colorful yarn and crochet hooks. Their eyes lit up with excitement, and they immediately started planning out their designs for the scarves and hats.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, they've enjoyed making heart keychains and ribbon roses, which have been a hit with both the students and the recipients of their crafts. The process of making something beautiful with their own hands has not only fostered creativity but has also strengthened their sense of empathy and community.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, the students will continue to work on crafting projects while learning new techniques and expanding their creative abilities. Their next step is to create a collection of handmade cards to accompany the scarves and hats, adding a personal touch to the items they will be donating. They are eager to explore even more ways to give back and connect with others through their craft.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for making all of this possible. Your donation has inspired our students and enriched their learning experience in ways that words can't fully express. We are excited to continue this journey of learning, giving, and growing, and we look forward to sharing more updates with you as our projects evolve.","fullyFundedDate":1730525419889,"projectUrl":"project/knot-just-a-hobby-crafting-for-mental-h/8911990/","projectTitle":"Knot Just a Hobby: Crafting for Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Creel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9821085"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105761","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":465,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":65,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":105761,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Institute Health Professionals at Cambria Heights on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Institute Health Professionals at Cambria Heights","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/institute-of-health-professionals/105761"}
