Together, we set up a small \"Calm Corner\" and placed bins at each group of desks so students have easy access to shared materials throughout the day. The soothing lavender and citrus scents have quickly become favorites, and students often comment on how the classroom now \"feels peaceful\" or \"smells like home.\" It's been wonderful to see them use the space respectfully and independently, taking ownership of both their emotional well-being and their classroom responsibilities.\r\n\r\nThese new resources have made a noticeable difference in our classroom environment and students' ability to focus. The bins help keep each group's materials neat and accessible, making transitions between activities smoother and more organized. We now begin lessons with a few deep breaths near the diffuser or room spray, helping everyone settle into learning mode. As we continue our reading and writing projects, students are showing more focus, confidence, and collaboration. The calm, organized environment you helped create has become an essential part of our daily routine—supporting academic growth, emotional balance, and a strong sense of community.","fullyFundedDate":1758636517433,"projectUrl":"project/materials-to-support-a-calm-clean-and/9675319/","projectTitle":"Materials to Support a Calm, Clean, and Organized Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parjohn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsparjohn"},{"teacherId":9609334,"projectId":9669485,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has become an even more welcoming, comfortable, and caring space for our English as a New Language (ENL) students. We received all of the items from our project—Lysol disinfecting wipes, facial tissues, and deodorant—and they've already made a meaningful difference in our daily routines and in the lives of our students.\r\n\r\nMany of our students are recent immigrants adjusting to a new country, culture, and language. School is not only a place for learning but also a safe space where they can feel supported and confident. Having these essential hygiene items readily available helps our students focus on their studies without worrying about small but important things like staying fresh, healthy, or comfortable during the day.\r\n\r\nThe Lysol wipes help us keep our shared classroom clean and safe, especially during cold and flu season. The Kleenex has been a daily necessity, showing students that their comfort and well-being matter. The deodorant supplies have been received with so much gratitude—they help students maintain their confidence and dignity, which is vital for teens who are already navigating so many challenges.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing how something as simple as these supplies can send such a powerful message: You are cared for. You belong here.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a calm, clean, and compassionate environment where our students can focus on learning, building friendships, and pursuing their dreams. Your kindness truly reaches far beyond the classroom walls.","fullyFundedDate":1756751771669,"projectUrl":"project/clean-calm-and-caring/9669485/","projectTitle":"Clean, Calm, and Caring","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parjohn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsparjohn"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1116","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1843,"numTeachers":130,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":26,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.4,"schoolId":1116,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Richmond Hill High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Richmond Hill High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/richmond-hill-high-school/1116"}
