My Project

My students are the most amazing individuals who conquer everyday trials while trying to meet the expectations of the education system. I love that our students are resilient and willing to learn.

These kits will provide teachers with an amazing way to re-center their students in a safe and comfortable manner.

Your donations will actually allow us to assemble a calm-down kit for each class. Each kit will contain a variety of sensory tools and a sand timer. The purpose is to empower students and teach them how to use these tools in the kit independently. The calm-down kits will be full of tools/materials that students will use when they need a break and want to feel calm and able to engage more in class.

These kits will help create a more positive and supportive learning environment for all students, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Please help support social and emotional well-being in, TX. All teachers will be taught by me (the School Counselor) how to implement all tools. Thank you so much for your support.
