It is a place where students feel safe, supported, and seen. It is where they learn how to care for their mental health, manage stress, build resilience, and ask for help when they need it. It is where they begin to understand that their well-being matters.\r\nWe started with a very small space in a corner hallway in the counseling suite which only accommodated 4 students at most. We saw the need to have a space where students can go when they need a break from class or a quiet space to complete schoolwork away from distractions. Due to your generous donations, we were able to convert a classroom to the \"Zen Den\" which is open to all students. During our lunchtime and student breaks, we now accommodate up to 45 students in one sitting. \r\nAlready, the impact is clear:\r\n•\tStudents are accessing support earlier. Staff have reported a significant increase in students seeking support and getting to know students who otherwise would go un-noticed.\r\n•\tA calm, restorative environment now exists in the building. Students use the Zen Den for mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-care—tools that are transforming their daily experience. Student Support Staff now have a space to hold educational, support and mental health groups to aide in student wellness.\r\n•\tTeachers are noticing a difference. Many have shared that students return to class more focused, grounded, and ready to learn.\r\n•\tFamilies feel reassured. Parents know their children have a dedicated space staffed by social workers, counselors and psychologists, where they can relax away from noisy common areas that can be too overstimulating for our neurodivergent students. \r\nWe use the supplies purchased daily in the Zen Den. Students get comfortable on the bean bags and enjoy the ambiance that the lighting fixtures create. They don't feel like they're in the classroom but a place where they relax, socialize, play a game of Uno and practice life skills.\r\nOn behalf of our students, staff, and families, thank you for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life.","fullyFundedDate":1757300649162,"projectUrl":"project/new-wellness-center-at-n-c-high-school/9618771/","projectTitle":"New Wellness Center at N.

It has been really cool to have them participate in a program that they were once on the other side of. \r\n\r\nFor us, books are essential. We feel that students can never be exposed to too many books, especially in today's digital world. To provide books for a large number of students, on the scale that we desire, can be expensive.

My aim is to create a conversation among professionals about the English language itself--its beauty, its quirkiness, its ambiguities and its status as the \"International\" language par excellence--in order to get at what we can teach with passion, with a genuine interest in learning for ourselves alongside our charges. To elicit an old example, what's the difference between \"Further\" and \"Farther\"? Why is it so important to teach the present perfect relatively early on in the process of English Acquisition? When is the apostrophe 's possessive not used to indicate possession? \r\n\r\nMy aim was to create the germ of a professional library for reference and dialogue among teachers who are often too busy, or too lost in cyberspace to find authoritative references on which to base their curricular choices. The articulation of grammar is typically a real weak point in American school curriculums, and should be informed by the more solid understanding, based on both Corpora studies and International traditions, that are rational and effective.","fullyFundedDate":1748548155712,"projectUrl":"project/the-best-of-english-grammar/9332491/","projectTitle":"The Best of English Grammar","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Carlini","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp322550_orig.jpg?crop=527,527,x0,y94&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626019361604","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-carlini"},{"teacherId":2968860,"projectId":9162094,"letterContent":"The NCHS Honor society student LOVE doing this project and passing on the tradition.

Their faces lit up with surprise and joy as they received their personalized cones filled with supplies and small gifts.

Because of your generosity, my high school students were able to select and provide books as part of special holiday gift packages for elementary students in need. This project was more than just a donation—it was an opportunity to foster a love for reading, build connections between older and younger students, and spread holiday cheer in a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nWatching my students thoughtfully choose books and contribute to a gift that would bring joy to a younger child was truly inspiring. They took pride in knowing that their efforts would brighten a child's holiday season, and they gained a deeper appreciation for the power of giving back. For the elementary students, receiving a book as part of a special holiday gift helped them feel seen, valued, and excited about reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had a ripple effect beyond the holiday season. You've helped create lasting memories, strengthened a sense of community, and encouraged both older and younger students to see the power of kindness and literacy.
