My Students

Curious, enthusiastic, and creative; my students are eager to immerse themselves in any kind of challenge. They grow to love silly and corny videos that help them to understand their lives and how to increase their overall wellness and health.

My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. My students are more engaged and willing to work when they are aware there is a space offered to deal with difficult emotions. It will also address any problems that affect their academic growth, as well as their emotional health. With an increased focus on social and emotional learning, the space will allow students an opportunity to decompress, but also reflect when dealing with negative or overwhelming emotions.
