Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In today's fast-paced world, mental health is more important than ever. Many students face stress, anxiety, and social challenges. At our school, we believe in innovative approaches to help students find balance and wellness. That's why we're excited to introduce "Level Up for Wellness," a project that integrates the power of video games with the joy of social gatherings.

Video games can be more than just entertainment; they can help students relax, build social connections, and develop problem-solving skills in a fun and interactive way, so we need arcade players.

Alongside gaming, our concession stand will feature delicious nachos made with a nacho cheese warmer, providing students with a tasty treat while they unwind and socialize.

With your support, we aim to create a safe and inclusive environment where students can take a break from academic pressures, engage in positive social interactions, and support their mental health and wellness.

By integrating gaming and fun concessions, we aim to provide students with a space to decompress, connect, and recharge. This project will encourage a sense of community, provide a healthy outlet for stress relief, and promote overall wellness in our school.

Help us "Level Up for Wellness" by contributing to our project! Together, we can make our school a place where students feel supported, connected, and ready to take on the world with a healthy mind and a happy heart.
