My Project

Recently during a school lock down, several students became anxious and overwhelmed. I decided to create a box of supplies that will assist in helping students remain calm and take their mind off of what is happening. These materials can be used daily when students are feeling stressed.

Your donations will help to purchase weighted lap stuffed animals, hair-ties, first aid supplies, and calming toys to help students alleviate stress throughout the day and allow them to focus on their education.

Thank you for supporting my students and our classroom.

Ms. Osborne Burnet Middle School Grades 6-8
