My Students

I am a special education teacher at a public high school. I have a number of students with anxiety and depression. I would like the opportunity to give them a de-stress area in my classroom where they can relax and calm themselves.

My Project

Many of my students are anxious and depressed and will utilize these items to create a calming environment for them.

They need comfy chairs and rugs.

Please help give my special ed students a safe place to decompress. This area will help decrease anxiety levels and give opportunities for quiet reflection and support from the teachers in a safe environment.

This will be helpful in creating a safe and warm environment for students to retreat. This area will be used by any students needing it throughout the school day. Thanks.
