Help me give my students yoga because middle school students are stressed out, and have few tools to handle that stress. Unmanaged stress is linked to a variety of challenges including poor academic performance, obesity, depression, etc.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Mott Hall III prepares students to become responsible citizens and future leaders in mathematics, science, technology and the humanities. We strive to create a community of learners who not only love to learn, but who have the knowledge base to do so.
By focusing on a rigorous academic curriculum, we provide our students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to rise to the top of any field.
Learning at Mott Hall III takes place in the context of the age of technology into which our students were born and which they will some day lead. We aim to give our students almost unlimited access to technology in order to complete a project-driven curriculum, which has been shown to be the most effective way to educate middle school aged children.
In order to ensure their academic achievement, we maintain a safe, caring environment in which all members of the school community are focused on all students’ development, which enables their growth into leaders. Students receive the individual attention they need in order to thrive. In an atmosphere like that of a family, both caring and firm, students are challenged by a rigorous scholastic program and nurtured by activities that address their developmental progress from child to adolescent. MHIII teachers not only encourage creativity and critical thinking, but self-discipline and responsibility as well.
Our students will experience a wide range of benefits as a result of practicing yoga. They will experience more success taking tests, competing in sports, and feeling challenging emotions. The will learn about the psychology of the brain and nervous system, stress and self regulation, and the foundations of a yoga practice.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
