My Project

These Items will help create a room where high schools students can go when they feel overwhelmed. My goal is to make a unique environment. This project aims to transform an office space at a transfer high school into “The Oasis Room,” a dedicated safe haven for students with disabilities.

The space will offer a calming environment where students can relax, vent, pray, or simply find a moment of peace away from the stressors of classrooms, lunchrooms, and hallways.

Equipped with comfortable seating, sensory tools, and soothing decor, The Oasis Room will provide a much-needed refuge that supports emotional well-being and fosters a sense of security, belonging, and tranquility.
