Through caring for Miffy, students are learning responsibility, empathy, and kindness. Daily tasks such as feeding, cleaning, and gently interacting with him help students practice patience, teamwork, and respect for living things. Miffy also provides comfort and joy, creating a calming presence that supports emotional regulation and positive classroom behavior.\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting social-emotional growth, Miffy gives students hands-on experience with pet caretaking. They are learning what it means to meet another being's needs consistently and thoughtfully, from maintaining a clean habitat to ensuring proper nutrition and enrichment. These experiences help build confidence and life skills while reinforcing the importance of routine and accountability.\r\n\r\nWe would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our generous donors who have contributed treats, toys, food, and bedding for Miffy. Your support makes it possible for our students to fully engage in this meaningful learning experience. Because of your kindness, Miffy is happy, healthy, and well cared for, and our students are gaining valuable lessons that will stay with them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764629049209,"projectUrl":"project/class-pet-supplies/9897405/","projectTitle":"Class Pet Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Worley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3733103"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34137","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1283,"numTeachers":124,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":68.7,"schoolId":34137,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Halifax County High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Halifax County High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/halifax-county-public-schools/halifax-co-high-school/34137"}
