Calming Area

Funded Feb 6, 2023

In my original letter of request, I wrote "Our Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students, similarly to hearing students of that age, often struggle with appropriate expression of their emotions. They would benefit from having a calming, cool down, reflection area. The Calming Area would be a designated spot in our Design Crafts/Art Studio class". That was very true and students did many great projects. I thank you for all your supports.

There was a variety of calming, mindful, therapeutic art projects and activities based on creativity and self-expression presented for the students to engage with.

Activities included, but are not limited too, drawing, creating dreamcatchers, making friendship bracelets, painting, and coloring.

Our students used art as therapy approach and helped our students express feelings, relieve stress, and build self-esteem and awareness. The calming area was a big help for life skills of self-motivation and regulation.

I appreciated your support in donating many and many things. Thank you.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Roberson-Adeoye
