Blend Your Way to Wellness

Help me give my students an amazing breakfast experience that promotes Mental Health Awareness.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gar's classroom raised $500

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I want to create a special event designed to kick-start the day with a boost of nutrition and positivity. We are excited to offer a variety of delicious, freshly blended smoothies made with our Ninja Professional Blender. These smoothies are not only a healthy choice but also symbolize the blending of community and support in our pursuit of mental wellness.

To enhance the atmosphere, our space will be decorated with inspirational mental health tapestries and Ribbli Silver Satin Ribbons, creating an environment that encourages relaxation and reflection.

The breakfast bar will be equipped with the VEVOR Mini Dutch Pancake Baker for those who love a sweet, warm start to their morning, and the Comfy Package sets will provide clear cups with lids and straws for enjoying smoothies on the go. Moreover, each student will receive a "Breathing Pal 'Kyle'" mindfulness breathing light, designed to assist in meditation and stress relief throughout the day. Mental health awareness mini buttons will also be distributed to remind students of the community’s support and commitment to mental health awareness.

This event is more than just a meal; it's an opportunity for students to nourish their bodies and minds while fostering a sense of community and awareness about mental health.
