Because of you, my students now have a dedicated space to pause, breathe, move, and reconnect with themselves during our school day.\r\n\r\nThese mats are already making a meaningful difference. They give my students a clear signal that their bodies, emotions, and well-being matter. Whether we are practicing simple stretches, guided breathing, or calming yoga poses, the mats help create a sense of safety and intention. Students who often struggle with regulation are learning how to slow down, and students who are typically quiet are finding confidence in their bodies and movements.\r\n\r\nWhat means the most to me is that these mats support something deeper than just physical activity. They help my students build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, skills that will serve them far beyond first grade. I see children choosing to use breathing strategies instead of reacting, and I hear them reminding one another to \"take a calm breath.\" Those moments are powerful, and they are happening because of your generosity.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I am deeply grateful for donors like you who believe in supporting the whole child. Your kindness has given my students tools they can carry with them for a lifetime, and it has reinforced for them that there are people in the world who care about their growth and well-being.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and in the calm, connected classroom we are building together. Your gift truly matters, and it is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1764781137645,"projectUrl":"project/mats-for-mindful-moments/9565450/","projectTitle":"Mats for Mindful Moments","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lobatos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2388260_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y270&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673370123398","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mes-lobatos"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39414","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":173,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":17,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - K","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":39414,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aspen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aspen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wyoming/fremont-county-school-district-25/aspen-park-elementary-school/39414"}
