My Project

I have discovered this year that many of our students are suffering from post-pandemic anxiety. Many students choose to not even come to school because they cannot handle the social anxiety and feeling that they are behind academically. Students need a space at school where they can come to "chill out", relax, and have my support and encouragement to stay at school in a comforting environment to get their work done. All students need to feel heard and understood; I'd like to create a space where they feel just that.
