Our space creates a calm, relaxing environment that exudes peace. My students lounge in the seating areas and utilize the stools daily. Although we have 3 floor chairs and 21 students, they choose to rotate seating on their own. They are not arguing- they care for the items. Each day, they sanitize the chairs for the next use. Our proudest moment occurred one day after PreACT testing, our room was used for a holding space afterwards. The students entered our space and could not stop raving about how peaceful the room is. Some even stated that they should have taken the test in our space to ensure a better performance. \r\n\r\nThank you for donating. I know that you have heard before that your donations changed situations, but I am have witnessed the care of the space from students who sometimes are not as courteous outside of the room and that speaks volumes. This letter will never convey my gratitude, but think of the most satisfying thing, multiply it by 10 and you may begin to know how I feel.","fullyFundedDate":1755178750548,"projectUrl":"project/relaxed-spacerelaxed-minds/9515932/","projectTitle":"Relaxed Space=Relaxed Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hughes-Howard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5395852"},{"teacherId":3685754,"projectId":8356587,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the hands-on supplies that my high school students used in many classroom projects that helped them gain a stronger understanding of US History. \r\n\r\nWith your support we were able to store our new supples on the shelf.
