Designed as a calm, supportive space, the sensory room will offer students — particularly those with sensory processing challenges or emotional regulation needs — a safe environment to reset, refocus, and manage stress. We anticipate that regular access to this space will help students return to their classrooms feeling more centered and ready to engage in learning, leading to improved behavior, focus, and overall well-being.\r\n\r\n Our staff are also looking forward to the benefits the sensory room will bring. It will serve as a valuable tool in supporting students' individual needs, promoting a more inclusive and empathetic learning environment. Additionally, staff may find opportunities to use the space for brief moments of mindfulness or decompression, which can contribute to better overall mental health and workplace morale. We believe this room will become a key part of our school's approach to fostering a caring, responsive, and supportive community for everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1736952980841,"projectUrl":"project/the-serenity-space-a-sensory-room-for-a/8735003/","projectTitle":"The Serenity Space: A Sensory Room for All","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krzywicki","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3064362_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483191154728","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3064362"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104940","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1102,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.0,"schoolId":104940,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Falls Lake Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Falls Lake Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/north-carolina-department-of-education/falls-lake-academy/104940"}
