These resources are making a meaningful difference for our students, both in the classroom and in the hallways. When a student feels frustrated or overwhelmed, the chair and desk give them a comfortable, welcoming place to take a brief break, calm their bodies and minds, and practice emotional self-regulation. Because the furniture can be moved where it is needed, students can receive support quickly and return to class ready to continue their instruction.\r\n\r\nOur students were excited to use the new furniture, and many have been especially grateful to have a supportive adult nearby who will listen to their needs during a break. We have seen students use the space to talk through their feelings, settle down, and regain confidence before returning to the classroom. One especially meaningful moment is watching a student arrive in the hallway frustrated, spend a few minutes talking and calming down at the rolling desk, and then happily choose to return to class. The chair and desk help students feel heard, supported, and capable of moving forward.","fullyFundedDate":1773971724775,"projectUrl":"project/always-where-you-need-me/10133632/","projectTitle":"Always Where You Need Me!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trujillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9787419_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727890597524","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msmandeee"},{"teacherId":9622006,"projectId":10167064,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting this project and helping make sure my students have access to basic hygiene products when they need them. Having pads and tampons readily available at school may seem like a small thing, but for a student who comes to school without them, it can make an enormous difference in how comfortable, confident, and focused they feel throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe products are kept in an accessible area where students can discreetly take what they need without having to explain themselves or feel embarrassed about asking. I want my classroom to be a place where students know their basic needs matter, and where something as normal as getting a period does not have to mean missing class, worrying about an accident, or being unable to concentrate on learning. Students have been very appreciative of knowing these supplies are simply there when they need them.","fullyFundedDate":1780426773353,"projectUrl":"project/pads-tampons-for-students-who-cant-br/10167064/","projectTitle":"Pads & Tampons for Students Who Can’t Bring Them","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bernal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9622006_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722991883247","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9622006"},{"teacherId":9622006,"projectId":10167147,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping provide headphones for my students! It may seem like a small thing, but having headphones readily available has made such a difference in helping my students focus and work more independently throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nMy students use technology for so many different things, from completing assignments and assessments to watching instructional videos and using programs that provide extra practice or read information aloud to them. For many of my special education students, being able to hear directions or text read aloud can make a huge difference in their understanding and confidence. Having headphones means they can use those supports whenever they need them without worrying about distracting the rest of the class.\r\n\r\nMy students were genuinely excited to have new headphones available to them, and I love seeing them grab a pair and get right to work. More importantly, they don't have to worry about bringing their own or going without when they need them.

Because of your support, my students will be able to fully participate in daily learning with essential supplies like pencils, paper, folders, and headphones. These may seem like small items, but for many of my students, having consistent access to them removes a major barrier to engagement and confidence in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWith resources like dry erase boards and markers, my students will collaborate, practice skills in real time, and share their thinking in a low-pressure way. These tools are especially powerful in an English classroom, where students can brainstorm, revise, and build ideas together. The addition of a pencil sharpener and lamination machine will help us stay organized and ensure our materials last, while cleaning supplies will allow me to maintain a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where students feel respected and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen students walk into a space that is well-prepared and thoughtfully designed, it sends a powerful message that they matter. My next step is to build a structured classroom where students can grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers through consistent routines and engaging lessons. Your generosity is helping lay the foundation for that growth, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to provide my students with a space that supports both their academic success and their sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and their future.","fullyFundedDate":1746476231795,"projectUrl":"project/starting-over-strong-equipping-our-clas/9206478/","projectTitle":"Starting Over Strong: Equipping Our Classroom for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bernal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9622006_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722991883247","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9622006"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24420","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":126,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.3,"schoolId":24420,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Estrada Achievement Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Estrada Achievement Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/san-antonio-independent-school-district/estrada-achievement-center/24420"}
