The students started to plan, draw, cut and get excited over their recent STEAM project! They are motivated! \r\n\r\nThey will continue to work for the next couple weeks on a project that involves the planning with a class spreadsheet for showing materials needed, the design process, and the new skill of using a table tool like the Chompsaw. What I have observed so far is excitement for the learning of this new skill. The buzz in the hallways is real as they share with other students how to use a workshop tool that grown-ups only are able to use. They are so excited to continue their project. \r\n\r\nFor some, it's the first smile I've seen from them since school started. Thank you for assisting with this goal.

Sometimes, before we can even begin to talk, a student simply needs a place where they can pause, take a breath, and feel that someone is there for them.\r\n\r\nThe additional seating also gives students more space to connect with peers, work together, share common challenges, and develop real-world solutions that make sense to them.\r\n\r\nMy hope is that every student who enters my office receives the same message: You are safe here. You are welcome here. You matter.\r\n\r\nThank you for recognizing the importance of creating a space where students can let their guard down, find support, and know they don't have to carry everything alone. Your generosity has helped make this welcoming space possible, and I am so grateful for the difference you are making in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1785182062608,"projectUrl":"project/furnishing-a-welcoming-5-8-grade-middl/10382410/","projectTitle":"Furnishing a Welcoming (5-8 grade) Middle School Counseling Office","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dampf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10552781_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x0,y400&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1792160038098","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10552781"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":285,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.7,"schoolId":37402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dodgeville Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dodgeville Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/dodgeville-school-district/dodgeville-middle-school/37402"}
