Calming Center Supplies

Funded Jan 31, 2023

Thank you so much for your support of our Edison High School Calming Center. The supplies that we were able to receive will support our students when they need time away to re-center and get back to the academic and social demands of the classroom.

The donations that supported our cause, calming center for special education students, will impact our school community in a very positive way. Our students will have a separate location to be able to take a break and re-set if they are having a hard they. The calming center and the supplies we collected will help our students stay in school, develop new skills, and feel safe. The items we received will provide activities for students to re-focus their energy. Coloring books and pencils, puzzles, a zen garden, or maybe just sitting in a quiet space and using an anxiety ring can help them regulate their emotions. The comfortable bean bag chairs, weighted blankets, yoga mats, and sounds from a fountain or soothing music from a blue tooth speaker, will all provide a calm and relaxing space.

We work in a community with a lot of trauma. Our students struggle to learn self-regulation. Many of our students want to learn the skills they have not been able to develop on their own, and seek out support. Having the supplies from our wish list will allow these students to have access to a safe space and provide strategies and resources to assist them in processing their daily lives.

Your support with allow our student to develop crucial life skills. Thank you!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Diestler
