My Project

High school students are very special when it comes to their emotions. I love the fact that my students are raw in their authentic responses when we engage in conversations on life.

The futon, water, refrigerator, and speaker will allow my students the space to sit, listen to music, and cool down, to process their thoughts.

A safe-haven lounge is a great place for students to cooperate and debrief after a test or long day. Mental health is at the forefront of the minds of today's youth. Please help me give my students the environment that they need to flourish emotionally and academically.
