My Project

At my school, we have a block of time, called Bobcat Block, that allows students a little down time during the day to interact with other students and teachers outside of the typical academic setting.

This semester, I am offering a Color & Calm session to benefit the social, emotional, & mental health of students.

Having a variety of coloring books from animals, mandalas, and positive quotes to have students choose from, along with quality colored pencils and ways to sharpen the pencils would go a long way towards achieving my goal.

Ms. Marvin Bacon Academy Grades 9-12
