Funded Aug 16, 2020Thanks to your donations we were able to accommodate 1200 visits in the first half of out school year. Children coming in identified their emotion, spent ten minutes doing a calming activity, then reported on their emotions again and returned to class ready to focus and complete work. Of those that came in 96.6% felt calmer and ready for class.
Some of the favorite activities are the kinetic sand, Globbles, and the light table. Most students coming in are stressed about school or struggling with social issues. We have seen a huge decrease in reportable behaviors being send to the principal because kids are learning that they have somewhere to go when they get angry and they are learning to calm themselves before the make a poor choice.
Again, thank you for your support the the Monte Vista Wellness Center.”
