My Project

Project 1 of 3 | A Whole New World of Calm: Granting Wishes in the Counseling Office. Join us on a magical journey to build a calming, supportive space for students to manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and reset. I have the privilege of working with incredible students—bright, curious, kind, and resilient. Many of them are navigating not only academics, but also big emotions, personal challenges, and growing social pressures. They show up every day, often carrying more than we see, and they deserve support that meets them right where they are. This project is the first of a three-part series to transform our space into a haven of emotional support and wellness.

Wish #1: A Magic Carpet of Calm focuses on creating a mobile calming kit—a set of carefully selected tools designed to bring peace wherever students need it most.

Some days, kids just need a soft place to land. Whether it's in the classroom, a quiet corner, or the counseling office, this kit will help them pause, breathe, and reset. I want to give them a safe, soothing space that feels like a magic carpet ride away from stress.

The mobile kit will include: fidget tools, stress balls, breathing visuals, calm strips, and a cozy storage tote.

These tools are more than toys—they’re coping resources for kids learning to self-regulate. Giving students access to this kit shows them that it’s okay to pause, breathe, and try again.

Thank you for helping grant our first wish. The journey to a calmer world begins here—and it starts with supporting these amazing students who are learning, growing, and discovering their own strength every day.
