My Project

Students can't do their best work when their mental health needs aren't met. This project will allow us to create a calm and focused learning space that meets mental and physical health needs to ensure a positive experience. Our students need snacks, ambient lighting, fidget toys, and calm strips to help them feel like the classroom is their space

A sense of belonging and comfort is key to students' mental health, and these items will help us meet our students physical needs and let them know they are deeply cared for.

If they need to check in with themself, we will have that space. If they're hungry, no problem. If the big light is too much, or they need a weighted stuffy, we can provide for those needs!
