The students were thrilled to unpack the supplies, especially the tissues! The district is not supplying them starting this year due to being 5 years removed from the Covid outbreak. We still have colds runny noses, flues etc. \r\nThe white boards are working out great for our spelling bees and games we enjoy playing. We will really put all of those and the markers and eraser to good use. Fun learning is remembered learning.\r\nTeachers just can't afford to buy all supplies like this ourselves and not many of our parents are in the position to donate either. Your generosity and huge heart have made in difference in so many students already this year.","fullyFundedDate":1746659720651,"projectUrl":"project/whoopie-for-whiteboards-and-second-langu/9187536/","projectTitle":"Whoopie for Whiteboards and Second Language Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. L.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/writerofwords"},{"teacherId":444946,"projectId":9064040,"letterContent":"The stress balls helped everyone get through the STAAR test with so much less distraction and stress. I'm very pleased that one of the classes that utilized the stress balls had every single student pass the test and they said the stress balls helped them a lot. \r\nWhen you have restless hands and are doodling rather than concentrating it is hard to succeed in these high stakes tests. The comfort and motion of the stress balls allowed for a higher degree of concentration without thinking about drawing a picture or otherwise occupying their hands and minds. \r\nThank you for believing in us, it means so much to so many students and teachers.","fullyFundedDate":1741099928351,"projectUrl":"project/subduing-that-testing-stress-with-stress/9064040/","projectTitle":"Subduing That Testing Stress With Stress Balls!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. L.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/writerofwords"},{"teacherId":444946,"projectId":9063447,"letterContent":"The sensory stickers went into the hands of students through teachers, counselors, social workers, and school staff immediately as the started arriving. All the students love stickers but these are special and help with concentration, fidgeting, and focus. The staff are using them as well and really have been surprised at how effective they are. This makes them more willing to hand them out regulary. \r\n\r\nI started using sensory stickers and SEL long before they became a \"thing\" and have continued using them and extolling their value to my coworkers. Your donations make this so much easier to do because I can have the stickers on hand to hand out immediately to those who want or need them. \r\n\r\nOur mental health is fragile these days and anything we can do to strengthen and support everyone around is a benefit to all.

The students got excited when they heard our project was funded and waited every day for the boxes to arrive. When they got here they immediately took the stickers out and placed on every desk for everyone in the different classes to use. Some put stickers on their computers or phone cases, notebooks, anything they could use to have it within reach. \r\nThe stress balls got here just in time too, we started testing the day after they got here and the students were able to use them during the test and said they felt it really did help then a lot. \r\nI just can't thank you enough for helping our kids out, it means so much knowing people who have never met them care enough to support them. These have been so well received so rapidly that I put up 2 more projects to help the whole school have the same items!! \r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1735936783793,"projectUrl":"project/student-sel-and-stress-relief/8942431/","projectTitle":"Student SEL and Stress Relief","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. L.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/writerofwords"},{"teacherId":444946,"projectId":8695764,"letterContent":"With the season's changing and the noses running, the sneezes sneezing and the coughs coughing, these supplies could not have come at a better time. With so many different classes and students sharing desks and supplies, being able to sanitize the desks and chairs and headsets, pencils and pens is extremely important. \r\nThe students feel safer knowing they can grab a wipe and clean their area as soon as they come into the class. When they are sneezing constantly, having tissues to blow their noses on is comforting and much more comfortable than using rough paper towels taken from the bathrooms. \r\nWe want to thank you for your generous donations not only to us but to everyone you support because it means more than can be described here in a simple letter. \r\nThank you!","fullyFundedDate":1730233856012,"projectUrl":"project/seasonal-supplies-for-cold-and-flu-safet/8695764/","projectTitle":"Seasonal Supplies for Cold and Flu Safety","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. L.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/writerofwords"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16169","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.8,"schoolId":16169,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about H.E.
