Last year I was deeply affected by the number of school shootings and student suicides. Not only was I feeling very affected by these tragedies but I was also very affected because of the anxiety and stress I had as a student and adult. I felt as a teacher the one thing I wasn't providing my students was one of the most important things we need to learn as human beings: How to take care of our mental health and our well being as a human. I made a decision at that time that I would do anything in my power to help my students navigate through our crazy world and help them learn about wellness and how to mentally take care of themselves. I joined a teacher training program to become a Wellness Educator along with becoming a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT). I've spent the last 3 months at these trainings learning more deeply about children's Social/Emotional needs, trauma informed teaching, and wellness techniques that not only benefit my students but benefit myself as well. As this program comes to an end I'm ready to step into my role as a wellness educator and to pass my knowledge along to my current, and future, students in hopes that they take away strategies to help them navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses. My project is looking for funding for Yoga mats for my students. One of the biggest changes in my life has come through Yoga and as I've introduced it into my classroom, and seen how much my students enjoy it, the need for yoga mats has become apparent. With your help to fund my project I can further educate my students on yoga's benefits and help them become wellness champions!
