Many of my students face food insecurity and unmet basic needs at home, which can make it difficult to focus, feel safe, and fully engaged in learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity allows me to create a classroom environment that prioritizes both academic growth and emotional well-being. With calming sensory toys, students have access to tools that help them self-regulate, reduce anxiety, and stay focused during instruction. These small supports make a meaningful difference for students who may feel overwhelmed as they adjust to a new language and school environment. \r\n\r\nProviding nutritious snacks ensures that students can concentrate and participate without the distraction of hunger. For many, this is not just a snack-it is a reliable source of nourishment during the day. Access to personal care and hygiene items also helps students maintain dignity and confidence, which are essential for building positive relationships and taking academic risks.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my classroom is more than just a place to learn English-it is a space where students feel valued (sitting on the large comfy bean bags), supported, empowered and thrive both academically and personally.","fullyFundedDate":1769790183605,"projectUrl":"project/warmth-care-and-nourishment-for-englis/10059343/","projectTitle":"Warmth, Care, and Nourishment for English Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. PHELAN","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2013807"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89466","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":580,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.3,"schoolId":89466,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sporting Hill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sporting Hill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/cumberland-valley-school-district/sporting-hill-elementary-school/89466"}
