My Students

What I love about my students is everything! They are attending school in a county with the highest number of families considered to be in poverty. Yet, these students come to school with hope. They come to school with a light inside them eager to learn. They are each a different little human, different little soul, with different needs.

They have so many barriers, traumas, diagnoses, and now, COVID.

I need your help. They need to be able to focus, stay on task, and feel safe with the tools you help provide!

My Project

Please consider helping our students gain the tools they need to promote healing. These tools will help students play through their trauma helping them gain the knowledge and skills to be successful.

Play is the language of healing for children.

Help our students heal with these play trays. One we will use for sand tray therapy and the other we will use for building therapy. Both will help support students in their journey to recovery. You can be a part of this journey through your generosity and kindness for our goal.
