Would You Like A Bear Hug?
Funded Mar 24, 2025Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity! Because of your support, my students now have a comforting tool to help them navigate their emotions throughout the school day. The moment they saw the teddy bears, their faces lit up with joy and excitement. One student immediately hugged a bear tightly and said, "This makes me feel safe." That simple moment showed just how much these small but powerful companions mean to them.
Since introducing the teddy bears into our classroom, they have become a vital part of our daily routine. When a student is feeling overwhelmed, they know they can take a moment to hold a bear, breathe, and reset before returning to their learning. This has created a more supportive and emotionally secure environment, where students feel comfortable expressing their feelings and practicing self-regulation.
As we continue our lessons, these teddy bears will remain an essential resource, helping students manage stress while staying engaged and focused. Thank you for making this possible! Your generosity has given my students not only a source of comfort but also a reminder that they are cared for and supported every single day.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Siddique
