My Project

My students at our transfer high school face many daily challenges and look for outlets to relax. They are extremely creative and I am looking for them to express their emotions through the use of sketchbooks. It is important for the students that attend our school to stay motivated and have a positive outlook inside and outside of school.

In addition to the sketchbooks , I have also included items such as stress balls , fidget toys and a variety of snacks for the students.

I am hoping that this will also help with their mental health and anxiety throughout the school day. I would like the students to unwind through art , have fun and possibly discover new things about themselves. The students at our school strive to improve and I want to help continue to create a space where their growth can be fostered.
