My Project

Students can't do their best work when their mental health needs are not met. This project will allow us to create a calming learning space that meets mental and physical health needs to ensure a positive experience.

We want our students to feel a sense of belonging and comfort in our classes and these items will help us meet our students needs and let them know they are deeply cared for.

We will have art therapy for students that need to relax and decompress. We will have snacks for students who are too hungry to concentrate.
