    Thank you so much for all of your incredible support. Your contributions have been essential in helping us create a safe and nurturing space for our students. With your help, we've established a calm environment where students can reset, recharge, and feel at ease during the school day. This space has become a vital resource for their emotional well-being, offering them a moment to regroup and refocus. We are truly grateful for your dedication to supporting the students, and we couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you for making such a positive impact!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cruz

  • Welcoming Haven for Newcomer & Immigrant Students

    Funded May 30, 2024

    The new resources have been instrumental in creating a welcoming environment for our newcomer and English learning students. We transformed the space into a calming, comfortable area where students can plan for their futures, work on essential skills, and seek guidance in a supportive atmosphere. One standout moment was when we hosted a goal-setting session, where students used the materials to create vision boards, mapping out their academic and personal goals. It was a powerful way for them to visualize their paths forward while feeling safe and motivated.

    When the students first saw the new materials, their eyes lit up with excitement. They were eager to explore the space, and many commented on how comfortable and peaceful it felt. It has quickly become their go-to place for not just studying but also for sharing concerns and challenges, creating a strong sense of community among them.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cruz
