My Project

Here we have bright and energetic students. They work very hard to accomplish high academic goals. Some of our students have experienced some traumatic events in their lives. With that in mind, our goal is to give them an additional space at school where they can just relax. The items in this cart will help us fulfill that goal. The sensory boxes will serve our students in the lower grades who may need to take a break throughout the school day. The art supplies can benefit all of our students (because they love to draw and color) The games will help us provide an additional space where they can enjoy one another's company in a less formal setting and engage in a different type of play (in addition to recess).
