Calming Area

Funded Feb 6, 2023

We are truly grateful for your generous donations. Our students have been accessing our new calming area on a regular basis. The curtains, chairs, and sensory items have made our space look beautiful and welcoming. Students are beginning to understand that our calming area is used to remind them of their coping skills, how to keep themselves calm and regulated when they are feeling stressed at school. When students are not up to sitting in our calming chairs, and they would rather color, they know to grab the Mandala Coloring Books, which always puts them in a relaxing mood. They have also enjoyed the Star Projector Galaxy Night Light. Our astronaut light is our most popular item! All the items that were donated have been used time and time again by our students. The books about anxiety and strategies to calm down, have been helpful for my students who are having trouble with their overwhelming feelings. Every day that I see my students sit on a bean bag and grab a book about having big feelings and using healthy coping skills, I feel thankful to your donation.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Gonzalez
