Breathe For Change

Funded Apr 26, 2024

I wanted to reach out to share my deepest appreciation for your generosity that allowed me to attend Breathe for Change. It has made a huge impact on me as well as my students.

Breathe for Change caught my attention when an advertisement came across my email. When I read about this movement that supported educators with possibilities to support our students as well as our communities, I knew I wanted to be a part of this movement.

My teaching has always been rooted in a deep understanding that SEL is the foundation for lifelong health, growth and learning. Participating in B4C has given me the tool/techniques I needed to take my teaching to the next level. The most important thing B4C has taught me is to put self-care first. As a mom and a teacher I have not always made myself a priority but that has changed. I know that I must take care of me in order to take care of and support others.

As I have applied the new techniques I have learned with my preschool students, they have learned how to appreciate our yoga classes that help them calm before nap time. They look forward to mindful meditations, quiet times for creativeness and our settle in routines as we prepare our minds, hearts and bodies to learn.

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to learn and grow as I continue this journey to help others learn and grow.
