Calming Area

Funded Apr 3, 2023

Thank you soooooo much for your contribution. It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your generosity and kindness in providing my class with a calming area. It is a true blessing and life saver. With the calming area provided my students have a place to feel safe recognizing and regulating their emotions in a healthy way.

This year one of my students is having a really hard time in the morning because he has been a victim of witnessing domestic violence and divorce. As soon as he gets into class he runs over to the calming area and he cries and sits in there for two hours. After he has been given his private time, he is a happy child and is ready for learning and participation. Also being that my students are so young and it's their first time separating from their parents, they have been using this area mostly upon arrival. This was mainly occurring at the beginning of the year. Giving them time to calm down in a private space has definitely helped them cope and then get ready for the day.

Again, thank you truly for making a major impact on their lives both in and out of the school.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Sandoval
