Because of your kindness, my 6th-grade students at Chester Community Charter School now have access to fidget toys that help them manage their energy, reduce stress, and stay focused during learning.\r\nThe impact has been immediate and heartwarming. Students who once struggled to sit still are now able to participate more fully in lessons. The small act of giving them something to hold, squeeze, or stretch has helped transform moments of frustration into moments of calm and focus. I've noticed greater engagement, smoother transitions, and a more positive classroom atmosphere overall.\r\nYour donation did more than supply materials—it showed my students that their growth and well-being matter. They are learning that it's okay to take a moment to reset, breathe, and refocus—a skill that will serve them for life.","fullyFundedDate":1758855584572,"projectUrl":"project/lets-reset-our-focus/9662951/","projectTitle":"Let's Reset Our Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9251738_orig.jpg?crop=653,653,x5,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715553507640","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msdillaston"},{"teacherId":9251738,"projectId":9621426,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of cleaning supplies to our classroom through DonorsChoose.
