My Project

Middle school is such a tough time for students. They are going through so much growth academically and socially. It can be very common for students to feel overwhelmed and just need a break every once and a while.

This project will help to create a space for students to go when they need a break from the daily stresses of middle school with a carpet and bean bag chairs.

"There is no place like home" but, it would be awesome to have a space for them to deescalate and find some peace during the business of the school day.

The end of the year is a stressful time with our final concerts and testing. I hope you will consider helping us to create this space for the students coming into the music and room and our students throughout our school!

Thank you so much for your consideration!
