My Project

As an educator, I strive to provide our students with the tools they need to succeed academically, emotionally, and socially. In today's complex world, my students face numerous pressures, often leading to frustration and anger. While academic achievement is important, addressing emotional challenges is equally critical in ensuring that students can thrive both in and out of the classroom.

I am committed to supporting the mental health of my students.

That is why I am seeking your help to develop and provide an anger management toolbox for my students, equipping them with practical strategies and resources to manage their emotions in healthy, constructive ways. I want to provide kinetic sand, anger management toys, growth mindset games, and other materials they need to help them with their frustration and anger.
