My Project

Our students deserve a welcoming and positive environment. Due to funding limitations, we are currently lacking in the opportunity to provide our students with an engaging and community based environment during their school lunch time. I want to utilize these supplies to engage and create a safe space of play for them, so that they can thrive inside and outside of the classroom and in the community.

My goal for this is to see a decrease in negative student interaction and increase positive behavior and community engagement.

In providing more positive ways for students to be involved with their peers and staff members during this time, data shows that this creates a positive change amongst school culture and student academic success.
