With steadily eroding school budgets and the tone of conflict in the world right now, it's proving to be an extremely challnging school year. Having a variety of treats, snacks and soothing sensory options is improving everyone's experience in my classroom.\r\nMy students adore having so many healthy snack options to fuel our daily work time in class. The variety of treats, fidgets and sensory items are super popular, too. Students are especially enthusiastic about the individual tins of glitter and color-changing putty. The flourescent light filters contribute to a calming atmosphere that soothes my and my students' sensory needs every day. \r\nI can't thank you enough for your generousity!","fullyFundedDate":1757465003509,"projectUrl":"project/middle-school-survival-kit/9628716/","projectTitle":"Middle School Survival Kit","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stuewe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9226220_orig.jpg?crop=1723,1723,x887,y171&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725753193036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9226220"},{"teacherId":9226220,"projectId":9019585,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. \r\nStudents have been really enjoying the beanbags and weighted blankets in my break space. Everyday before my 6th grade Study Skills class starts, my students gather on the beanbags and hang out. It's a really sweet moment of calm and community, and a rarity at middle school! When the bell rings and they head to desks, students often bring the lap-sized weighted blankets with them to help ground them during work time.\r\nThe snacks are a huge hit as well. Being able to offer calories to my sudents as they work increases their engagement and helps focus their effort on academics. Having rewards to offer such as fidgets and candy is a super helpful motivator in my classroom as well.","fullyFundedDate":1735515984331,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-and-tools-to-survive-middle-school/9019585/","projectTitle":"Fuel and Tools to Survive Middle School","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stuewe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9226220_orig.jpg?crop=1723,1723,x887,y171&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725753193036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9226220"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87593","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":343,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.4,"schoolId":87593,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.L.
