My Project

Having space that is calm and connected is essential to a healthy learning environment. Enhancing plain white walls, refreshing or invigorating aromatherapy, a celebration of identity, and joyful competition are essential for building a stronger classroom community.

It isn't often upper-level high school students have the opportunity to giggle with joy playing games and enjoying each other's company without a device as the intermediary.

All the items in my project are designed to work together to build community through fun, food, and relaxation.

It is a hectic world pulling us all in many directions and I hope to create an oasis in its midst.
