Calming Corner

Help me give my students an amazing "chill corner", where they can unwind, relax and take care of themselves by having a comfy place to be. A lot of them do not have a safe space at home.

My Project

I love that my students are so grateful and humble. They have had a lot of teachers throughout the school year for short term periods, which means having a space just for them has been nearly impossible.

I want to thank them for their adaptability and perseverance by creating this amazing "Chill Corner" just for them.

The space will have a comfy place to sit and lay to read a good book or use fidgets if they feel over stimulated.

They deserve this and it has been long overdue. I am so excited for this opportunity.
