When my students first saw the bracelet making kits, kindness cards, and art supplies, their excitement was contagious. They immediately began brainstorming ways to use these materials to brighten someone's day. Your generosity has empowered them to take the lead in a school wide kindness initiative, and it's been incredible to watch their creativity and compassion come to life.\r\nOne of the most memorable moments so far was during our first kindness workshop, where older students guided younger ones in making friendship bracelets and writing uplifting messages. The room was filled with laughter, focus, and genuine connection. These activities have not only helped students express themselves but have also taught valuable lessons in empathy, leadership, and community service. The kindness rocks they painted are now scattered throughout our school and local parks, spreading joy to anyone who finds them.\r\nNext, our students are planning to expand their efforts by creating kindness journals and posters to share with local businesses and community centers. They're learning that small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, and they're proud to be part of something bigger than themselves. Thanks to your support, they're gaining tools to make a lasting impact and they're doing it with heart, creativity, and purpose.","fullyFundedDate":1748380014519,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-kindness-through-crafts/9307148/","projectTitle":"Spreading Kindness Through Crafts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Andersen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9717841_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741278530002","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9717841"},{"teacherId":9717841,"projectId":9207298,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my project, Tools for Student Success. Your contributions have made a meaningful impact on my students' emotional and social development and have elevated my teaching in powerful ways. As someone who loves to study with a stack of sticky notes, a highlighter in hand, and a quiet corner to reflect, I've spent time diving into these new resources to strengthen my ability to support students through grief, anxiety, trauma, and everyday stressors.\r\n\r\nWith the help of materials like the Grief Therapy Handbook, Coping Skills Workbook, and Art and Expressive Therapy Toolbox, my students have been engaging in activities that help them identify emotions, build resilience, and practice self-regulation. One of my favorite moments was watching a student use a calming strategy from the Meditation Cards during a stressful day, he later shared that it helped him feel more in control and ready to focus. These tools have created a safe space for students to express themselves, connect with peers, and build skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.

It was exciting to see their confidence grow as they made sense of concepts that once felt out of reach.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' reactions were priceless — wide eyes, cheers, and instant curiosity about how everything worked. Now that they've had time to explore, our next step is applying these tools to our upcoming unit on rational numbers. We'll be using the materials for hands-on projects and peer teaching, helping students explain their thinking through visuals and models to deepen understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1742942210498,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-community-through-sensory-need/9161668/","projectTitle":"Capturing Community Through Sensory Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Keller-Danilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4237755"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36352","usesÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":447,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":36352,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hilltop Heritage Middle School on @ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½:","schoolName":"Hilltop Heritage Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/tacoma-public-schools/jason-lee-middle-school/36352"}
