My Project

Our elementary school is hard at work installing and implementing a regulation station in each classroom and setting in our building, including our staff lounge! We are committed to improving the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health of all students and staff in our building.

The tools you provide will help create regulation stations around our school where all kids and adults will learn to regulate.

I am requesting some basics like tissues, hand sanitizer, and timers. I am requesting fidget toys, weighted lap blankets, sensory items, and more for students. For staff, I am requesting a book called Atlas of the Heart (all about the importance of recognizing and identifying emotions, an eye mask, a heated shoulder wrap, and more.

The skills we're teaching are lifelong and far-reaching. As we do this work, we'll also hold parent-education nights, have local businesses and churches use our same regulation routine, and so much more.
