My Project

My students are vibrant, resilient, and full of potential. As their school counselor, I see how much they carry on their small shoulders—from academic pressures to personal challenges. What they need is a space where they feel safe, heard, and supported. This project will help create a calming corner where students can take a mindful break, practice emotional regulation, and build the social-emotional skills they need to thrive. With cozy seating, sensory tools, and mindfulness materials, this space will offer comfort and restoration so students can return to learning ready and renewed.

Ms. Cameron East Ridge Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
