My Project

Integrating mental health and SEL in high school isn't just about supporting students and teachers; it's about equipping them with the emotional tools they need to thrive in both their personal and academic lives. Inspirational supplies, including motivational writing utensils, posters, sticky notes with quotes, and goal-setting notebooks, will foster a positive mindset and encourage resilience. By surrounding students and staff with uplifting messages and tangible reminders of their goals, we will increase self-awareness and productivity of all.

Books on mental health, personal development, and academic strategies, provides teachers with valuable resources and insights around best practices to help students learn coping mechanisms.

Engaging with evidence-based information about fostering positive mental health also stimulates critical thinking and empathy, essential skills for both academic and personal growth.

The primary goals of this project are to enhance students' learning experiences by promoting focus, motivation, and emotional well-being. Supplies will be distributed so students have access to calming materials. In a survey provided to our students in the first week of school, we learned that 32.3% of students do not feel connected to an adult at our school, and 9.1% of students do not feel connected to an adult outside of school. By integrating the resources in this DonorsChoose project, we aim to create a supportive learning environment that addresses students' needs, build positive relationships, and helps them thrive academically and personally.

Our students are uniquely resilient and adaptable, navigating the complexities of high school with a diverse array of talents and perspectives. They bring creativity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to engage with new ideas. By providing tools and resources tailored to their needs, we can help them harness their potential and make a meaningful difference in their education.
