My Project

Snacks and sensory items are a necessity for struggling students during the state testing windows and many challenges that face them in the last three months of the school year!

Having tools and strategies to help students calm the fear and self-regulate is an amazing resource that truly changes these students outlook on their school and life experiences.

The food really helps students who need something in their mouth to calm their nerves and their mind.

The stress balls help them use the nerves in their hands that travel to their brains sending signals and channeling positive energy!

Mrs. Dupuis will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 12.
