A \"Simple Refill\" that made a big difference.\r\n\r\nThe snacks are used to help students stay alert and settled, especially during longer class periods. For some students, having something small to eat helps them regulate their mood and stay engaged in learning. The hand lotion has also been a big help, especially during the colder months when dry skin becomes uncomfortable and distracting. Students appreciate having access to something that helps them feel physically comfortable during the school day.\r\n\r\nWhen students saw these items available, they felt cared for and supported. These small comforts go a long way in creating an environment where students can focus on learning instead of discomfort.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping meet needs that often go unseen but truly matter.","fullyFundedDate":1767192847740,"projectUrl":"project/simple-winter-refill/9967580/","projectTitle":"Simple Winter Refill","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tiff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8924124_orig.jpg?crop=410,410,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745607568927","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mstiffslove4teaching"},{"teacherId":8924124,"projectId":9591578,"letterContent":"When our SEL cozy space was set up with new chairs, supplies, and décor, my students were in awe.

We used the space right away for my 1:1 counseling sessions and a space where seniors can prep for post-secondary readiness. This cozy space is now our go-to for group talks and calming breaks.
