Breathing Balance Into Purpose, One Student at a Time!

Funded Jan 7, 2025

On behalf of my self-contained classroom, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to support for my special education yoga and mindful breathing program. Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in the lives of my students, and I wanted to take a moment to share the positive impact it has had.

Since introducing yoga and mindful breathing into my class, I've seen remarkable growth in my students. These practices have helped scholars manage their emotions, reduce anxiety, and become more in tune with their own self-regulation. Students who once struggled with frustration now use the techniques they've learned to calm themselves and approach challenges with a clearer mind. The transformation has been inspiring.

What's even more exciting is that many of our scholars have developed a genuine interest in yoga and self-management. These tools have not only supported them in their emotional well-being but have also sparked a new sense of empowerment and curiosity in their own growth. It's amazing to see them take ownership of their emotional health and actively participate in creating a peaceful classroom environment.

Your donation has truly made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for your support. Thanks to you, these students are building resilience, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for mindfulness.

Thank you again for your generosity. Your belief in my students, their potential and my school community means the world to us. We look forward to continuing to witness the positive change your support has helped foster.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Straker-Santos
