SEL & Mental Health Resources for High School's Mindfulness Room

Funded Oct 26, 2024

Thank you for your generous support and donation, which has had such a meaningful impact on our students. The new books you've helped provide have opened up a world of SEL, including reflection opportunities, creativity, including journaling and storytelling prompts, and learning and inclusion, including real-life stories from people from various backgrounds and experiences, focusing on mental health. We could not be more grateful with how these texts, stories, self-help books, poetry books, journals, etc. have enriched our classrooms across the school and students' overall experience.

A transformation in students should go beyond just improving reading skills - students can, hopefully, develop and build a passion for literature, self-care, and growth overall, not just as a student, but a person altogether. These experiences will stay with them long after they move on and out into the world after graduating.

So, again, thank you SO much for providing these new books. You have made a profound difference in our classrooms and school as a whole, helping students not only build academic reading skills, but also helping them value themselves as worthy and see themselves within another. The emphasis on the importance of social-emotional learning is crucial and of the utmost significance, especially during this time. We are deeply grateful for your support, which is all contributing to help shape our students' present and future lives.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Sietz
