Funded Sep 2, 2024Thank you so much for supporting our "Level Up for Wellness" project! When the new arcade games and nacho cheese warmer arrived, our students could hardly contain their excitement. The gaming area has quickly become a favorite gathering spot, where students come together to relax, build friendships, and recharge. The atmosphere is now buzzing with laughter and cheers as students play games, challenge each other, and enjoy the delicious nachos, creating a true sense of community within our school. This project has transformed our space into more than just a room—it's a place for connection, stress relief, and support.
The positive impact on our students' mental health has been clear. With this designated space, they have an outlet to take a break from academic pressures, practice teamwork, and simply have fun. I've already seen students who were initially shy and reserved coming out of their shells, forming new friendships, and developing social confidence as they engage with their peers in a relaxed setting. Thanks to the nacho cheese warmer, the addition of snacks has made the space feel even more welcoming, turning it into a spot where everyone feels included and comfortable.
Looking forward, we're planning to incorporate wellness activities and peer support sessions around our "Level Up for Wellness" area, promoting emotional well-being and stress management alongside the fun. This project has not only provided a healthy, supportive outlet for our students but has also fostered a culture of care and connection. We are so grateful for your role in making this vision a reality, and we look forward to seeing all the ways our students will continue to benefit.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Blount
