Addressing Social, Emotional, & Physical Well-being

Help me give my students the tools to strengthen their emotional and social well-being. This would also help students who may need a snack throughout the day who may have food instability at home.

My Project

These books will enhance my students understanding of their own emotional well-being and also help improve their social skills.

These Social- Emotional Learning toys will help to build rapport with student who may have concerns with opening up about certain emotions.

These snacks will help to make sure students are focused and not hungry due to food instability at home. Often students lack resources at home that impact them greatly while at school.

We greatly appreciate any donations that you may be able to provide to our students. Thank You
