My Project

Help me increase student's understanding of their feelings. I teach SEL lessons at my school and help self-regulate their emotions using coping skills, taking a break, and creating a calming corner in my office. By helping me, you will create a safe space for students to express their feelings in my office.

Students use fidgets in school to help with stress.

As a school social worker, I will use your donated items to help students identify their feelings and utilize different strategies to help them get ready to learn. Your donation is appreciated and will help my students as they continue their academics.

Thank you for your support.
