Because of your support, my students have had access to essential learning materials and meaningful moments that truly made a difference.\r\n\r\nThe supplies you provided—pencils, paper, erasers, scissors, and especially the art materials like crayons and markers—have helped bring color, creativity, and calm into our learning environment. These items have been used daily for assignments, projects, and activities that allow my students to express themselves and stay engaged.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful experiences made possible by your donation was our Stress Relief Day, held just before state testing. With your help, we created a peaceful, supportive space where students could take a break from the pressure, use creative tools to unwind, and refocus their minds. For many of them, it was just what they needed to feel grounded and get back on track emotionally and mentally.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our classroom community. Your kindness has helped meet both the academic and emotional needs of my students, and I'm truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1739367265287,"projectUrl":"project/a-healthy-journey-to-learning/8917119/","projectTitle":"A Healthy Journey to Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. C Salazar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9824731_orig.jpg?crop=1066,1066,x245,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730944767027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9824731"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16773","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":631,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":99,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":16773,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about A.P.
