  • MS. Rzerzicha & Ms. Ceballos Noise-Cancelling Headphones

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    The integration of noise-canceling headphones has been a great addition to the classroom environment, offering students a powerful tool to minimize distractions and enhance their learning experience. With these headphones readily available, students can immerse themselves in their tasks without being distracted by external noise. Thi allows for deeper engagement with lesson materials, leading to improved comprehension and retention of information. Moreover, the use of noise-canceling headphones promotes a sense of autonomy among students, empowering them to take control of their learning environment and tailor it to their individual needs.

    The noise-canceling headphones are extensively utilized within the classroom setting. Students have open access to them and employ them to enhance their focus on tasks. They demonstrate commendable self-monitoring skills and assertively advocate for their individual needs.

    I am immensely grateful to each and every one of you for making this donation swiftly and without hesitation.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Rzerzicha

  • Breathe for Change Wellness

    Funded Feb 20, 2020

    I am so grateful to everyone who donated and supported this project. My intentions for bringing mindfulness and yoga practice into my life, into the lives of my students and colleagues are in process. As I witness my students gain control of their adorable wiggles during practice, I also witness their practice of presence. It is just a beginning to foster calm and openness to all life has to offer.

    "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Rzerzicha

As an educator, I will be studying the use of mindfulness, yoga, and social-emotional learning as a vehicle for social change in the classroom and the school community. I have the amazing opportunity to bring this knowledge and utilize these practices within my field. Research shows that mindfulness and yoga practices for teachers leads to increased performance, self-compassion, and resilience, while enhancing social and emotional well-being for themselves and their students, and reducing stress and burnout. Professionals receiving mindfulness interventions also experience significantly less emotional exhaustion and enjoy increased job satisfaction. Training and certification will help me bring the powerful practices of yoga and mindfulness to the teachers and students at our school. I hope this will have a positive, long-lasting impact on the entire school community.
