  • Art Supplies and Props for Counseling Grades K-8

    Funded Feb 18, 2022

    Thank you so much for your contribution. It was such a pleasant surprise. I'm so excited to have this boost of supplies right near the end of the year when many of supplies are dwindling and ready for replacement. Your generosity will not go by unnoticed, I can't wait to see the expression on kids faces when they come down to my room to find FRESH tools for SEL learning. It really helps motivate kids to come to counseling and ask for help when my space is inviting, clean, fresh and full of fun and engaging tools.

    You are the best!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Troutman

  • Noise Cancelling Headphones for Students in Busy Public School Environment!

    Funded Dec 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students are going to be so happy when they return from winter break to find the school a more focused and relaxing environment. Or only will this support students, but staff who need fast and efficient solutions to meet kids needs. I hope you know you’re making a major impact on our schools health and well being!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Troutman

    This classroom project was brought to life by #TeachHealthy with Nature Made and 3 other donors.

I am asking for 4 sets of noise cancelling headphones, which will be distributed in our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classroom. Each teacher will use these as apart of their "calming corner" to help students learn self-regulation skills and advocate for their own mental health needs. Students who may have sensory needs, struggle with anxiety, ADHD, or generally just enjoy a more calm learning environment really can benefit from a simple quiet space to learn. The literature and guidelines emphasize the academic benefits of wearing NC headphones (decreased auditory distraction, increased concentration, learning improvement, and decreased distress). These benefits are particularly expected for students with special needs. Asking students families to provide noise cancelling headphones creates an undue burden on low income students and fmailies, and would create an inequitable classroom experience.
