Support Our Youth in the Foster Care System at JMHS

Funded Sep 12, 2024

We greatly appreciate the donations you provided us. I have been able to utilize the items to help my students cope with issues they face at school and home. I did a project with my students called "You Rock!". We used the rocks and paint pens to paint inspiration words to help our youth cope during challenging times.

The scratch art has been a great tool that I use when I check in with students and talk about the problems they have in their classes. Also, using the color books, coping ball, and other stress relieving items have been helpful with check ins or when students have had a rough day at school. My students like the new interventions I have used with them and like that they can take the item home to use too.

These donations have been beneficial with building rapport and creating a safe space with my students. I look forward to building better connections with my current students and future students using the donations you all have provided me. Thank you again for all your support.”
