High School Students Need Mental Health Supports!

Funded Sep 23, 2024

Your contributions to my classroom environment have been amazing! Students have really been struggling since they have not had their phones (this was something we implemented about a month ago) and the snacks and fidget tools have been very helpful! When a student is having difficulty focusing in class, a lot of the time it is because they have not eaten and being able to offer them a snack brings them back into the learning environment swiftly. I have so many students taking advantage of my bowl of fidgets. They know they can always get something out of the bowl to keep their hands busy, allow them to refocus on an assignment, or soothe them when they are feeling upset. The elephant is a favorite for my students when they are feeling anxious, they say it feels like getting a nice big hug!

Thank you so much for your contribution to my classroom! I can't tell you enough how much of an impact this has all made on my student's overall well being and mental health!”

With gratitude,
