My Project

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and my students are preparing for standardized exams, college transitions, and dealing with the anxiety of being a teenager today. The stickers, note pads, and stress balls will help raise greater awareness of mental health while helping my students to have an outlet.

Let's help my students remain calm and keep positive thoughts in their presence.

These items will bring joy to my student's faces, and they will be able to have positive affirmations around them every day.

They will be able to choose a notepad, stickers, positivity bracelets, and the type of stress ball they want. I have seen how choice can positively affect my student's attitudes and demeanor, and I hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
