Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Social emotional wellness impacts student academically on a daily basis. If a student isn't able to be mentally present, they are unable to focus in classes, maintain positive peer relationships, and be overall successful in a school setting. Valley Oaks CES is a brand new school that has been founded on creating emotionally intelligent students. We understand the importance that mental health has on students' success.

Our students in this community go through a lot, so having a space to express themselves in a healthy way will be incredibly beneficial.
