My Project

My students have big emotions sometimes and we are in great need of a space for them to utilize when they need a calm quiet space to regulate themselves, get their sensory needs met and be ready to return to the classroom. We need tools to help them calm and reach a state where they can learn again. Your generous donation would go towards setting up a space we need that will be available for many years to come and will help so many students be successful. This will provide them with dim lights, calming items, physical movement to calm and ease the mind, and music that can relax the body and mind. Your donation would make such an amazing impact in our program and make such an amazing space that is greatly needed for us.
