You are helping middle schoolers develop lifelong self-care skills and resilience. My students look forward to coming to my room because it is a welcoming, safe space with the tools they need to support their needs. \r\n\r\nWhen a student is anxious or hungry, their brain is in survival mode, not learning mode. Because of these weighted friends, I've seen students who were previously overwhelmed by sensory input find the calm they need until they are able to re-engage in school activities.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our community and for choosing to make such a tangible difference in the lives of these resilient students.","fullyFundedDate":1767188047528,"projectUrl":"project/snuggles-snacks-supporting-wellness-t/9685096/","projectTitle":"Snuggles & Snacks: Supporting Wellness Through Sensory Hugs & Healthy Treats","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lipscomb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2306342_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750389561434","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2306342"},{"teacherId":2306342,"projectId":9165324,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of the \"No Hunger, All Focus: Snacks to Support Student Success\" project! Because of you, I was able to stock my counseling office which is a converted classroom that serves as a welcoming wellness space for my students. Together we made healthy snacks and bottled water available for them as they prepared to navigate the end of the school year.\r\n\r\nMy office is a safe, supportive environment where students come for individual check-ins, group sessions, or simply a moment to regroup during a busy day. Having access to snacks like fruit cups, Skinny Popcorn, Rice Krispie Treats, and bottled water made a significant impact. It helped meet their basic needs and added a layer of comfort and care that helped them to feel seen and supported.\r\n\r\nStudents are always excited when they notice the snacks that are available. Their faces light up, and you can see the immediate sense of relief. It's one less thing for them to worry about. For many, it makes the space feel even more inviting and calming, especially during high-stress times like exam season.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide snacks . It helped create a more nurturing environment where students can focus, feel safe, and know they are valued. Thank you for believing in this project and for supporting the whole child - mind, body, and heart.","fullyFundedDate":1745100202694,"projectUrl":"project/no-hunger-all-focus-snacks-to-support/9165324/","projectTitle":"No Hunger, All Focus: Snacks to Support Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lipscomb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2306342_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750389561434","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2306342"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3216","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":457,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.0,"schoolId":3216,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northern Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northern Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/person-county-school-district/northern-middle-school/3216"}
